Location

The streets Tasker and Morris were named after Thomas P. Tasker and Henry and Stephen Morris, the two families that founded the companies Morris, Tasker & Morris, and later the Pascal Iron Works, which occupied a site on Fifth Street between the two streets that would later take their name.^[2]

The song "Tasker-Morris Station" by The Menzingers is about the station. The song "Wedding Singer" by Modern Baseball also references the station. The song "selfish hate" by Jawny also references the station. ^[3]
