Dumb Things Said By Philadelphia Tour Guides Part One: Greek Madness

A carriage driver, stopped in front of the Second National Bank on Chestnut Street near 4th, was overheard saying the building was an example of “reefer Bible architecture.”

Perhaps, the guide meant “Greek revival architecture,” suggested a passenger.
