Description	"The Academy of Music As It Looked in the Early Seventies -- The famous building at Broad and Locust sts. is outwardly unchanged except for the metal and glass canopy over the Broad st. pavement which for years has served as a protection for the opera and concert patrons. The Academy's present surroundings and the Broad st. of today are very different from those shown in the old photograph. In the seventies Broad st. was paved with cobble stones and had not entirely lost its 'Main Street' savor of early days. The Academy was officially opened February 25, 1857, with a performance of 'Il Trovatore' and was conceded to be the finest opera house in the country."
