The image of
the Frankford Elevated line on Frankford Avenue below reaches a point of construction
circa 1917 when the steel structure was planted. Building to right above and below is old “Dummy
Depot” built for the Frankford and Southwark Railway Depot as a unifying piece
of architecture 1-1/2 stories with a clock tower joining two previously built separate
train sheds in 1878.
(Photo below I would say was taken from balcony of the old "Seven Stars" Hotel at Frankford and Oxford Aves..)

Depot building with clock tower attributed to Frank Furness, Philadelphia architect. Which is prabably mistaken for the old Reading R.R. terminal down the street that was a Furness creation.
