Summary edit

Description
English: Advertisement showing the five-story brick and granite building adorned with a sign reading "Blacking" on its roof at 108, i.e., 138-140 North Front Street. A patron opens the entrance door of the storefront as he peers at a large illustrated print on display in an adjacent window. Above the window adorned with the print (illustrated with a man, boy, and dog), a couple is visible in an open double-sided glass door on the second floor. In front of the building, a laborer unloads a horse-drawn dray as a family in winter attire approaches from a nearby corner. Also shows a hoist on the side of the storefront and partial views of neighboring buildings. Mason & Co. occupied the building following its completion in 1851 and tenanted the site until 1919. The building, built 1850-1851, was demolished in 1973.
