"CUMMINGS COAL"
Take a look inside this structure here on Hidden City Philadelphia.
This photo, taken a block south and dated 1901, shows "CUMMINGS COAL" emblazoned on the railroad viaduct overpass. Unfortunately it is too far away to see the structures.
Here is the location in a photo dated 8/15/1894. The buildings are different (all of them gone at this point), suggesting this remaining structure was built later.

exceptionally cool and inventive site!
The picture does not match the building.
Regardless is a beautiful building dating back to 1840.
