EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the United States Mint in Philadelphia, circa 1897. The second Philadelphia Mint building, designed by the renowned architect William Strickland, stands proudly with its classic Greek-style columns and elegant white marble facade. This architectural masterpiece was a symbol of American craftsmanship and ingenuity during the late 19th century. Sadly, this magnificent structure was sold in 1902 and swiftly demolished to make way for progress. Today, it is hard to imagine that such an impressive edifice once graced this location. In its place now stands the towering Widener Building since 1914. The image is sourced from "A Tour Through the New World America" by Professor George R. Cromwell, published by C. N. Greig & Co. , London around 1897. It offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when manufacturing thrived in this bustling city on America's East Coast. As we observe this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness history unfold before our eyes - men strolling along the avenue, horse-drawn carriages passing through busy streets, and railings lining the road leading up to this majestic mint building. This remarkable piece of architectural heritage reminds us of our country's rich past and serves as a testament to human creativity and innovation that shaped our nation during its formative years.
