Donata-- great idea! The white building in the middle of the photograph is the Walnut Street Theatre. If you go to Google Maps (http://tiny.cc/WalnutStTheatre) you can see what the street looks like today. John Sloan's painting, Walnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia (1900) is currently on display at the Museum.
