I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if the tag used to include the word &quot;Philadelphia&quot;. The wood appears to be old growth, perhaps Douglas Fir. My house is built with Douglas Fir studs and shiplap from around 1910 and the grain structure, hardness, and color appear similar. Do you know if Douglas Fir was used in Europe for stretchers?</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t conclude &quot;Europe&quot; from the stone bridge previously because there were similar ones built between the 1870s and 1890s in my city in N Texas. I believe some still exist in cities like Eureka Springs, AR. Stone masonry was hugely popular in some parts of the central US after the Civil War.</p><p><br /></p><p>Might not be worth the canvas it&#039;s painted on, however I still find the scene interesting. Thanks again for all of the help![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
