The historic photograph did not come with date but it is a picture of the Anthony J. Drexel Mansion at 39th and Walnut St. in West Philadelphia. Drexel was a Philadelphia financier and mentor to J.P. Morgan in NYC. His mansion was eventually torn down and rebuilt as the Samuel S. Fels residence. The current mansion is now part of the University of Pennsylvania campus. Alejandro A.
