Winter’s here, at least in some parts, so can you identify this place with the snowfall in place. If you think you know the answer, send your idea to elliott@brack.net, and be sure to include your hometown.
Several people found last edition’s Mystery Photo relatively easy. It was sent in by Bob Forman of Grayson.
Michael Varga of Norcross writes: “For any of us who grew up in Philadelphia, this photo is an easy one. That’s the boater’s row along the Schuylkill River with the Philadelphia Art Museum hovering beyond and above.” Another person with a Philly background, Jim Savadelis of Duluth, also identified the photo, saying: “Boat houses for the different rowing clubs and University teams. I believe they are replicas of the different Greek temples as rowing in Philadelphia also has competition between Frats (Greek Life). The large building at the top of the picture is the Museum of Art that has the steps most famous for the Rocky victory scene in the movie of the same name.”
Gary Rowe of Lawrenceville says: “This week’s photo shows the Philadelphia Museum of Art on the hill. The foreground shows the boat houses for the racing teams of the University of Pennsylvania. That’s the Schuylkill River flowing by.” George Graf of Palmyra, Va. Writes: “A view of the Philadelphia riverfront along the Schuylkill river. In the background, the neoclassical temple-like building with columns is the Philadelphia Museum of Art.”
Others identifying the photograph included Ruthy Lachman Paul, Norcross, and Ross Lenhart, Pawley’s Island, S.C.
