EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Philadelphia in the late 19th century. The focus of the image is the magnificent Penn Life Insurance Building, standing tall at 921 Chestnut Street. Its grand architecture and intricate details are a testament to the craftsmanship of that era. The building's exterior exudes elegance and sophistication, with its ornate columns, arched windows, and decorative cornices. It proudly represents an important part of Philadelphia's history as a hub for commerce and finance. Taken around 1890, this photograph captures a moment frozen in time during the turn of the century. As we gaze upon it today, we can't help but imagine what life was like back then - horse-drawn carriages passing by on Chestnut Street, men in top hats walking briskly along the sidewalk, and women dressed in long skirts going about their daily routines. Although this print does not mention commercial use or specifically reference Penn Life Insurance as a company, it serves as a visual reminder of how architectural landmarks shape our cities' identities throughout history. It allows us to appreciate both the beauty of this particular building and its significance within Philadelphia's urban landscape.
