Market & 10th

This was the entrance to the Panorama Building at 1331 Market Street, built in 1887. It led to a huge circular drum in the rear of the lot where 360 degree paintings of dramatic historical events were on view. The city had one other panorama building, at Eddy and Mason streets (WMK) Gettysburg panorama and museum. Civil War decorations all over. In 1896 the building became the Rambler Biclorama, an 'Elegant Riding Academy'.
