William Wain, he'e lieuw utoed en the nerthenM renier of Secnth and S'.insem afreets. A high wall thnt uin up (e Chestnut street and about quarter of the way bnclc en Hansom' street (or, ns i few stubborn one railed It even then, Geerge street) sheltered the garden nnd protected It from profane slnnren. What the garden was like inside nnd what plnnts were grown there Is net recorded, though "m5 say they remember te have heard the place wnn famed for it hollyhocks. Passed Inte Anether's llnnds The heue nnd garden were bought afterward (nt just the time when the mercantile tide was etceplng along Chestnut street) by ene Dr. Hwaim.

After a time Dr. Swnim caused te bs built the row of buildings en Seventh street that, with n few cxreptleim, t'j moon uniii tins enr. nc or tnc'fl he used ns the salesroom for "S aim's panacea."
