Untitled panoramic photograph showing large crowd gathered for what looks like a political event, perhaps the visit of the U.S. President. A large factory is on left, houses in the middle, and what appears to be a train station is on the left. Original was rolled and broke into several sections when unrolled. These pieces were scanned individually and reassembled using Adobe Photoshop.
This photo appears to be a different building from AP-5162-1 and AP-5162-2. Frank Lees, in From Media's Past, says that the Trinity U.A.M.E Church at 420 N.

Frank Lees caption: "The Union Railway Company, was formed in Chester in 1890. The intentions were to build an electric railway from Linwood, through Chester, and into Media. This never came to be. Eventually the company did run cars into Marcus Hook, car #13 shown here, was the first car into Marcus Hook. Eventually they succeeded in running a line into Eddystone and then into Upland.
