EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white albumen print takes us back to the year 1866, capturing the grandeur of the Joseph Harrison Residence in East Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia. The magnificent mansion, built by Joseph Harrison Jr. , an internationally renowned engineer and inventor who played a significant role in constructing Russia's first railroads, stands tall on this historic site. The photograph showcases the elegant facade of the residence against a backdrop of a quiet street. A classic street lamp illuminates the scene while pedestrians stroll along the sidewalk, adding life to this snapshot frozen in time. The architectural details are strikingly captured, emphasizing the intricate design and craftsmanship that went into creating this remarkable structure. Adjacent to Harrison's residence is another notable building - J. Kearsley Mitchell's house at 18th and Locust streets. Dr. Mitchell was a well-known physician whose presence adds further significance to this already rich historical context. Today, where once stood this splendid mansion now stands the Signal Corps Building (formerly known as Penn Athletic Club). This print serves as a window into Philadelphia's past - reminding us of its vibrant history and its contributions to engineering advancements during that era. Preserved by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder collection, this image allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also provides valuable insights into American architecture and society during the 19th century.
