Description

View of the Philadelphia City skyline, as seen from the Belmont Plateau in Fairmount Park. Notice the absolutely filthy condition of the top portion of City Hall, due to smog. This photograph was taken between 1901, when City Hall was completed, and 1913, when the railroad bridge of the Pennsylvania Railroad [seen in middle distance] was replaced.
