BRISTOL PENNSYLVANIA, BRISTOL BANK, Roman Revival Building, Columns, pm 1907?

Description: Bristol is a borough in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, 23 miles northeast of Center City Philadelphia, opposite Burlington, New Jersey on the Delaware River. It predates Philadelphia, being settled in 1681 and first incorporated in 1720. After 1834, it became very important to the development of the American Industrial Revolution as the terminus city of the Delaware Canal, providing greater Philadelphia with the day’s high the anthracite fuels from the Lehigh Canal via Easton. The canal and a short trip on the Delaware also gave the town access to the mineral resources available in Connecticut, New Jersey and New York via each of the Morris Canal, the Delaware and Hudson Canal, and the Delaware and Raritan Canal, and connected the community to those markets and trade from New York City. This is a UDB, postmarked 1907?, that chronicles early history of Bristol Pennsylvania with an image of “Bristol Bank” of which I could not find any history on. The card has a serious bent upper right corner and a crease lower left corner but other wise just minor wear. The image has some staining and is clear as is the reverse. The colors on the card may vary due to the scanner settings and screen projections.Unless otherwise noted, I use Wikipedia, Playle's and Metropostcard for research and try to be as accurate as possible. Corrections appreciated. If this your card, it will be mailed promptly upon receipt of payment......
