Title	Western Union Building.
Contributors	Joseph & Joseph (architect) Caufield & Shook (photographer)
Description	Address: 405-409 W. Market Street (Building no longer exists.). The Western Union main office and the adjacent Lincoln Savings Bank were built on land owned by J. M. Atherton and were in a long succession of architectural commissions linking Alfred S. Joseph, Mr. Atherton and Fourth Street. Included were original Atherton Building on the south west corner of Fourth and Chestnut streets, the second Atherton Building on the north west corner of Fourth and Muhammad Ali and Stewart's Dry Goods on the south east corner of Fourth and Muhammad Ali. The latter three structures are attributed to McDonald and Todd, but were apparently designed by Alfred S. Joseph. The street scene of this photograph includes a globe-lanterned streetlamp, numerous bicycles, and trolley rails in a brick street. Handwritten on back: "Western Union / Brdwy".
