Society Hill and Old City In the 18th century, Society Hill was home to wealthy merchants and many members of the federal government. In Old City, artisans and workmen lived and worked in small row houses like those on Elfrerth's Alley. As Philadelphia developed, it abandoned its Colonial center. Almost forgotten by 1900, Society Hill had become home to poor immigrants and its once gracious houses had become run-down tenements, shops, and warehouses. Yet, at the same time, Society Hill remained Philadelphia's banking and insurance center. Beginning in the 1960s, under the direction of city planner Edmund Bacon and the National Park Service, this neglected neighborhood was restored. Society Hill and Old City documents how these two neighborhoods looked in the early 1900s. The book's carefully researched narrative and vintage images tell the story of these historic neighborhoods. , Neu, Festpreisangebot, [LT: FixedPrice], Artikelzustand: Neu, Brand: Unbranded, MPN: 9780738538181, UPC: 9780738538181, EAN: 9780738538181, Book Title: Society Hill and Old City, Item Length: 9.2in, Publication Year: 2005, Format: Trade Paperback, Language: English, Item Height: 0.3in, Genre: Photography, Travel, History, Topic: Subjects & Themes / Regional (See Also Travel / Pictorials), United States / State & Local / Middle Atlantic (DC, De, Md, NJ, NY, Pa), Pictorials (See Also Photography / Subjects & Themes / Regional), United States / Northeast / Middle Atlantic (NJ, NY, Pa), Item Width: 6.5in, Item Weight: 0.7 Oz, Number of Pages: 128 Pages, Arcadia Publishing<
