Leary's Book Store - Downtown Location

Downtown Location

Leary’s Book Store (later renamed Leary, Stuart, and Co.) was located in the heart of the downtown district of Philadelphia at 9 South 9th Street, a short distance from Market Street.

The very large Gimbel’s Department Store occupied the corner of 9th and Market, and the relatively tiny Leary’s Book Store on 9th Street was separated from it by a small cobble stoned alleyway.
