1917 March Central News Cope's Music Store 615 Arch

​The building at 615 Arch Street was constructed for Milton L. Cope in 1902 for his business, Cope’s Music House. Mr. Cope was a dealer in pianos, organs and Victrolas and lived in the house next door at 613 Arch Street (now demolished).


Raymond Cope, the son of Milton, bought the business in 1919. He added Atwater Kent and Zenith Radio lines and provided piano tuning and repair. Later he began selling televisions when they became popular.
