On the cover, interior view of St. George’s Methodist Episcopal Church, Fourth Street, Philadelphia, 1763-69, showing the roof system and the audience room following a fire on August 12, 1865. Careful examination of the photo reveals the presence of the large Y-shaped iron yoke typically used by Robert Smith at the junction of the kingpost with the collar beam and hammer beams.
