lures in "Brandywine Village" that
occupied by Charles NJ. Grubb, 1916
Market street, is undergoing extern
sive repairs, revealing a style OF
architecture little known to the pres
ent generation in this city.
When workmen tore out the front
Of the building for the purpose Of
putting in a glass front. they found
that over two hundred years ago
the building was constructed OF
heavy oak logs, the chinks being
filled in with plaster. The logs.
which are in an excellent state OF
preservation, have been sawed
through, showing them to be solid
all the way through.
