Betzwood Studios werefounded by movie pioneer Siegmund Lubin.
D. W. Griffith filmed the first movie ever shot in Hollywood in 1910, but studios were not built there until 1913, long after Lubin had established himself in the Philadelphia area in 1898.
In 1912 Lubin bought the Montgomery County estate of brewer John Betz and began to develop Betzwood.
One of the films shot here was 1914 The Servant Girl’s Legacy- the earliest surviving film of Oliver Hardy

Jour 1
Manayunk
5 septembre 2020, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F
My lunch (and what turned out to be - final) break on the Manayunk Canal Towpath

Opened nearly two hundred years ago, in 1819, the Manayunk Canal was a key link in the hundred mile long Schuylkill Navigation system. Built to bring coal to the coastal cities and ports by way of canal barge, the waterway was soon overshadowed by the network of railroads then being built. After peaking in the 1850s, traffic on the canal dwindled each year with the final commercial boat passing in 1922.En savoir plus
