: 38 Market Street, Philadelphia present numbers 214 and 216, was from early in the eighteenth century a place of residence that seems to have been rather popular and to have been also a busy thoroughfare. It had until comparatively recent years two or three taverns in it. In the early days all of these displayed signs. Thus in 1768 we find the Queen Charlotte Inn being kept there by Peter Sutter. It is not possible to locate this inn now, but it probably was at either Nos. 8 or 14 or 22. Of these only the last-named structure stands. All of these buildings were inns in 1795 and in 1801. At No. 8 in 1795 John Cormick kept a tavern and in 1801 this was in the possession of Thomas Calvert. At No. 14 in 1795 John Ryan was the innkeeper, and he had been succeeded by John Wright in 1801. Joseph Douglass had an inn at No. 22 in 1795, but this was the shop of a tailor, John Bonsall, in 1801. Some idea of the respectability of the street in the early days may be had from the fact that in addition to some small tradesmen there were a few persons who were set down as "gentlemen" occupying houses in the street. Christopher Marshall, Jr., lived for many years at No. 24, which building still stands, and it is possible that his father, the diarist, who has left us one of the three contemporaiy accounts of the first reading of the Declaration of Independence in the State House Yard, lived there also. The younger Marshall, who is described as apothecary in the directory for 1795, had retired by 1801, for then he is dwelling in Strawberrj' street as "gentleman." Marshall's house and the house on the north side still stands. In one next to it at the south, No. 26, the Philadelphia Dispensaiy had its first home in 1786. This building was removed about eight years ago. The dispensary, one of the first in this country, was organized in the spring of the year 1786, and in March a committee obtained from Christopher Marshall, Jr., the lease of a building which he owned in Strawberry street. This dispensary was opened on April 12, 1786, and in response to an advertisement in the newspajjers soon became known to the poor. One of the first advertisements of the institution, which still survives in its sturdy old age on Fifth street north of Walnut, was to this effect The dispensary will be opened in Strawberry alley on Wednesday. April 12th. Those among the poor who wish to have their children inoculated for the small pox under the care of the dispensary are desired to make speedy application to some one of the contributors. The first eight months the dispensary was in operation its patients numbered 719. Of these, 562 were dischai'ged as cured, 32 died, 7 were discharged as disorderly, 1 as incurable and 82 were under care when the first report was made in December, 1786. The house was
