I recall someone asking this question a couple years ago and someone else said they've been shut down since sometime in the 90's because they leak quite badly?

Does that mean it was an illegally operating company, under Philadelphia's official radar? The title of the Inquirer article that we're responding to states that 'the last' company closed its doors, is 76 the company referenced? I'm paywalled from actually reading the article.
Edit: I'm getting down voted and I'm not sure why. I'm legitimately asking

On Saturday, Sept. 3 of this past year, some of my friends watched a horse's body fail as it was pulling a carriage on Sansom Street. Here is a photo my friend took. Please note the horse's swayback and general body condition. They couldn't get the horse to move, even decoupled, so they had to call that trailer in the picture to haul it away. This horse doesn't look loved. The photo makes it look like it might be a fleabitten gray horse, but in reality a lot of that coat color was dirt.
I'm not calling you a liar. I think it's possible that there have been drivers and stable workers who love the animals. But something is wrong here and it's probably better for the welfare of the animals if the carriages go away.

Reply to From the "lost" collection of Frank H. Taylor, Philadelphia originals, is this one, numbered 418, with no title. It isn't cataloged on the Library Company of Philadelphia website either. Do you know what this building is? by johnsinternetsales
You may have some luck reaching out to Hidden City Philadelphia, I bet at least one person over there would be interested in trying to figure it out

Do you mind sharing what kind of stove you bought and the sq footage of your house, if possible?

Did they say why they were closing so abruptly? I saw their social media post yesterday and was shocked but I didn't want to rub salt in the wound by asking
