[TheForge] Yellin iron work in Philly (was: Phila Inquirer features article about Samuel Yellin)

Tue Sep 30 21:36:10 2003

Bruce,

Two quick ones that come to mind are 15th & Chestnut, huge entry gate 
and lantern fixtures on old bank building being converted to apts. and 
University of  Pennsylvania Museum of Archeology and Anthropology at 
32nd or so and Spruce St.  The museum sight is currently being partially 
excavated so one of the gates has I think been removed.  Also at the 
Bourse Building  on the east side (4th St. between Market and Chestnut), 
is a beautiful large gate.  I'm not sure if this is Yellin but looks to 
be from the  same era.  

Cheers,
Bill Woolley
