Isn't that a Piedmont ad, not Redmont in the middle of the building? I see beech nut and Bond bread(?) also... love the old ads in some of these pics-it's like a game trying to spot em!

A group of people in a narrow court in the 700 block of North Newmarket Street in Philadelphia. There is laundry hanging on a clothesline near where the people are standing. There is a fixed lamp near a person sitting on a rocking chair to the right of the picture.

Yeah, you have to take some of the descriptions with a grain of salt.

Looking north on Delaware Ave. from the south side of Spring Garden st. ca.1929. I like that billboard advertizing the Our Gang Kids in person at the Earl Theater. And a south view of Delaware Ave. from the north side of Spring Garden st. ca,1929. And looking west onto Spring Garden st. from the east side of Delaware ave. ca.1929. And a east view from Spring Garden st. onto Delaware Ave and the river.

The old Dime Museum, seen from accross the intersection at which it is located. The building is festooned with long strings of flags and naval pennants. The box office on the ground floor advertises "Emmett Welch Minstrels" in light-up letters.
"Dime Museum" to make way for modern building. The old theater building, at the northwest corner of 9th and Arch streets, was built fifty years ago. It has been the home of a freak show and various kinds of musical theater.
