- Notes:
- Ballinger log book 3, p. 32 lists photo numbers 3657-3662, 3681-3683 and 3868-3870. Photo nos. 3868-3870 are misidentified with this location. They are renderings of a high rise office building, which has been identified elsewhere (Ballinger log book 3, p. 67) as proposed drawings for the Pennsylvania Mutual Life Insurance Co. at Arch & 17th Streets & the Parkway, Philadelphia. It is not known if these photos are misidentified with the Pennsylvania Co., or if the Company was involved with the planning of the same or a similar building for the Water St. site.
- Ballinger log book 3, p. 33 lists two of these same photo numbers, 3658 & 3661 for "Birdsong, Philada., Pa.". The associated addresses are 210-228 N. Delaware Ave., but no clue to the meaning of "Birdsong", or relationship to the Pennsylvania Co., is given in the photos.
- Addresses included in the photos of Pennsylvania Co. properties are: Nos. 225, 223, 221, [219] & 217 N. Water St., and also the unnumbered [215] Water St., shown in photo no. 3657. No. 213 shown in photo no. 3662 and Nos. 210-228 N. Delaware Ave. The Delaware Ave. information is given in the log book, but not showing in the photo no. 3658. Photo nos. 3660 and 3681-3683 are views of Pier No. 12 North, including a building labelled "Baltimore and Ohio Freight Station." This pier may have a Port Richmond location, placing it far north of the Delaware & Water St. addresses.
- Signs on no. 217 in photo no. 3657 read "H.K. Kindig & Co., Wholesale - Grocers." No. [215] in this same photo reads "Founded 1778. W.H. & Fordan, Jr., Oils & Chemicals." Photo no. 3662 shows the handwritten address "213" near the "Rusk Oil" letters.
- Forms part of: Ballinger Company. Architectural photographs of the work of Ballinger & Perrot, and the successor Ballinger Company.

- Athenaeum copy: Gift of the Ballinger Co.,
