Description: Please email with any questions. Antique 1883 fold-out price list from James Rowland & Company, Kensington Iron and Steel Works, North Delaware Avenue, Philadelphia. 6 1/3" by 17" when fully open.Kensington Iron & Steel, founded in 1845, was one of the most active iron rolling plants of the late 19th century. James Rowland, the company’s founder, was a successor to other iron companies that had operated in Philadelphia under the direction of the Rowland family since the 1700s. The Kensington Iron & Steel plant operated a number of piers on the Delaware River and ran a manufacturing complex that covered almost the entire area between the Cohonsink Canal (now Canal Street) and the Delaware River between Poplar and Laurel Streets. Business at the steel plant boomed until 1890, when production came to a halt after James Rowland died of a stroke on March 28th of that year. The entire complex was auctioned off for $68,000 and subdivided into smaller properties that were sold again a few years later. Price list has a lot of soiling on the two sections that act as the front and back when folded, some slight soiling elsewhere and nail hole throughout.
