EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Weightman Building, located on Chestnut Street near Fifteenth Street in Philadelphia. The image was captured by an American photographer during the 19th century and is now part of a private collection. The Weightman Building stands tall against the backdrop of bustling Chestnut Street, offering a glimpse into the history and charm of Philadelphia in the 1890s. This architectural gem served as an illustration for "Fifty Glimpses of Philadelphia and Vicinity" a publication by Rand McNally in 1898. With its intricate details and grandeur, this historic building embodies the spirit of America's past. It serves as a reminder of the city's rich heritage, reflecting both its cultural significance and architectural prowess. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a time when horse-drawn carriages roamed these streets, gas lamps illuminated the sidewalks, and pedestrians strolled along with their umbrellas or bowler hats. This image encapsulates not only Philadelphia's unique character but also captures a snapshot of life in late 19th-century America. It reminds us that even though times have changed drastically since then, there is still beauty to be found in preserving our historical landmarks like the Weightman Building.
