The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is a state located in the Middle Atlantic region of the United States of America.
One of Pennsylvania's nicknames is the Quaker State; in colonial times, it was known officially as the Quaker Province, in recognition of Quaker William Penn's First Frame of Government constitution for Pennsylvania that guaranteed liberty of conscience. Penn knew of the hostility Quakers faced when they opposed rituals, oaths, violence, and ostentatious frippery.
Pennsylvania has also been known as the Keystone State since 1802, based in part upon its central location among the original Thirteen Colonies forming the United States. It was also a keystone state economically, having both the industry common to the North, making such wares as Conestoga wagons and rifles, and the agriculture common to the South, producing feed, fiber, food, and tobacco.
Pennsylvania has 51 miles (82 km) of coastline along Lake Erie and 57 miles (92 km) of shoreline along the Delaware Estuary. Philadelphia is Pennsylvania's largest city and is home to a major seaport and shipyards on the Delaware River.

Rhoads Opera House
The Rhoads Opera House, located in Boyertown, Pennsylvania, caught fire on January 13, 1908 during a church-sponsored stage play. The fire started when a kerosene lamp was knocked over, lighting gasoline from a stereoscopic machine. The stage and auditorium were located on the 2nd floor and all auxiliary exits were either unmarked or locked. One fire escape was available but unable to be accessed through a locked window above a 3 foot sill. 170 people perished when the exit was crowded against to escape the fire. Entire families were wiped out.

Listing Info
( from listing's site ) - Warren Freed, first generation, was a share cropper. He lived on a rented farm across from what is presently the New Hanover Firehouse. He paid half of his crop for rent. A quarter of a mile down the road the Nipes family owned a 100 acre farm on Swamp Pike. In 1917 Dr. Nipes decided to sell his farm to Warren.
Warren was a cow jockey, meaning he bought and sold cows. After acquiring the farm he started milking cows and selling steers. The market for livestock was not so good one year, so he decided to kill his livestock and sell the meat of a truck. Warren and his brother, Tom Freed, went into business in 1925 selling meat. Their first store was located alongside the railroad tracks on East Philadelphia Avenue in Boyertown. Today there is a pizza shop at this location.
