Description
Note the roof extending over the sidewalks. In the basement (entered by steps going down from Wood Street), it was an oyster house restaurant. The oysters were brought from the Delaware Bay by the Delaware River and were unloaded at the Mill Street wharf. Oysters were an inexpensive seafood and often arrived on Friday. There were also wagons to deliver oysters around town to local homes.
