Summary
| Description |
Print by John Caspar Wild showing an exterior view of the Pennsylvania Institution for the Instruction of the Blind, located at the corner of at Sassafras (now Race) and Schuylkill Third (now Twentieth) Streets in Philadelphia. This is now the site of the Franklin Institute, with the caveat that the west side of Twentieth Street was moved forty feet further west when the street was widened in the 1920s. The view includes a watchman's guardhouse in the foreground (on the southeast corner). In the background is the two-story workshop of the Institution, and behind that is visible the silhouette of the Philadelphia Magdalen Asylum. The Pennsylvania Institution for the Instruction of the Blind would later become the Overbrook School for the Blind. |
