One of a series of three large architectural photos (most likely they have never been reproduced or published) of property sites that might have been interests of the Wunderly family. Photo shows some fading (exposure?) to upper left & top. Scan shows the central portion of the image, but not the entire piece. From the personal collection of Pittsburgh fine arts dealer, Charles A. Wunderly, who, beginning in 1894 had galleries in various locations (Liberty Ave., Oliver Ave., Wood St.). He owned two similar photos, all of which might have been formerly framed.
