Beyond that, a coal yard and coal barge are visible at the riverfront. In the distance is the red brick Procter & Gamble plant (demolished) with its two smokestacks. At the far right part is a Peoples Gas Light & Coke Company gas holder, part of the former Willow Street Station Manufactured Gas Plant Site (demolished).
