Our neighborhood is located between Spring Garden Street and Fairmount Avenue, from Broad Street to Pennsylvania Avenue/Fairmount Park. The area was the City's original Victorian neighborhood and was first developed for the newly emerging class of well-to-do industrialists in the mid-to-late 19th century. Virtually the entire neighborhood has been designated as a City of Philadelphia Historic District. We are bordered by major cultural institutions, including the Community College of Philadelphia, Eastern State Penitentiary, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Barnes Foundation, and the Rodin Museum.
