A church stands on Broad Street north of Chestnut Street in this stereograph, the Seventh Presbyterian Church, shown as a pair of nearly identical photographs meant to be viewed through a stereoscope for a sense of depth. The card dates to about 1861, the year the Civil War began, and carries the copyright line of McAllister & Brother, a Philadelphia firm that issued many views of the city for home parlor viewers. The catalog record notes that its details come from the original caption card and have not been independently verified, so the date and specifics are best treated as approximate.
