Frank Lees caption: "Philadelphia Suburban Transportation (Red Arrow) Trolley No. 73 at State and Monroe Sts. in Media. The jewelry store on the corner is Wiltshire's Jewelry, now (1979 circa) occupied by Royal Jewelers. These center door trolleys plied the route to Media from 69th Street for many years. This photo was taken in June of 1973 at Media's Town Fair Days, when the trolley was used to take folks for a ride. "
North Avenue no longer exists. It was directly in line with South Avenue, north of the court house. These houses were demolished at some point as the court house, and then the county government center, expanded to cover the entire area from Front to 3rd streets, and Olive to Jackson streets.
Frank Lees caption: "From right to left are: the building once occupied by Ellis Pharmacy, the building once occupied by Broadbelt Stables, Pierson's Garage, and Trimm Glass Company, which burned down in 1975. Below that was Pierson's auto showroom; Snowden's once used this building for a warehouse. All but the Pierson's auto showroom building have been demolished."
Frank Lees' caption notes that these buildings, once owned by C. B. Williamson (who probably built the houses), were standing in 1880. A new brick office building now (as of 2019) occupies the site.
