What you Don't See

This was shot from a narrow alley in the Historic District of Philadelphia.
It is the rear of "The Bourse." Independence Hall is across the road, sort of catty-cornered from the FRONT of the Bourse, which is now an upscale shopping spot.
------
The Philadelphia Bourse was a commodities exchange founded in 1891 by George E. Bartol, a grain and commodities exporter. The steel-framed building – one of the first to be constructed – was built from 1893 to 1895, and designed by G. W. & W. D. Hewitt in the Beaux-Arts style. Carlisle redstone, Pompeian buff brick and terra cotta were all used in the facade.
--------------------------
I think we are seeing pieces of all of the above materials in this fascinating wall.
