Ridge Ave and N. Broad Street – Horse Watering Trough – circa 1910
In the late nineteenth century Bell H. Crump, a native of New York, donated the funds to erect this horse watering trough fountain at the, then bustling, juncture of Ridge Avenue and North Broad Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. “Donated by Bell H. Crump,” is carved within the rim of the fountain.
There was
one on these round Horse Watering Troughs at the intersection of Kensington and
Frankford Avenues in my childhood at the northern tip of Womrath Park.
Along with map
below 1910, shows “Garage” on both map and photo.

Franklin Court Philadelphia - 1910
Benjamin Franklin's original House was torn down to make way for a street through the property in order to create and sell off lots for sale by Franklin's descendants.
House in photo on right center built over part of that original plot, perhaps reflects the original flavor and dimensions of that lost Ben Franklin Home.
