Edward Corner Marine Warehouse

Edward Corner Marine Warehouse

Historic remnant
The Edward Corner Marine Merchandize warehouse is a utilitarian four-story warehouse fronting North Delaware Avenue in Fishtown, near the site of the demolished Jack Frost Sugar Refinery.  Edward Corner purchased this corner lot on Shackamaxon Street around 1882.  His marine supply business occupied this structure until 1960, when it was sold and converted into a furniture warehouse (xii).   Like many deserted industrial buildings in Philadelphia, this building still retains the ghostly lettering of a business that no longer exists.
