London Coffee House (Philadelphia)

London Coffee House, commonly referred to as the Old London Coffee House, was a coffee house in Philadelphia in the colonial-era Province of Pennsylvania, located on the southwest corner of Market (formerly High Street) and Front Streets. It was the scene of political and commercial activity, and also served as a place to inspect black slaves recently arrived from Africa and to bid for their purchase at public auction.[1][2]
