Rare PHILADELPHIA PENNSYLVANIA, BROAD STREET from POPLAR, City Hall Tower 1918

Description: Broad Street is a major arterial street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It runs approximately 13 miles beginning at the intersection of Cheltenham Avenue on the border of Cheltenham Township and the West/East Oak Lane neighborhoods of North Philadelphia to the Philadelphia Navy Yard in South Philadelphia. It is Pennsylvania Route 611 along its entire length with the exception of its northernmost part between historic Old York Road and Pennsylvania Route 309 (Cheltenham Avenue) and the southernmost part of Interstate 95. It is interrupted by Philadelphia City Hall, which stands where Broad, and Market Street would intersect in the center of the city. The streets of Penn Square, Juniper Street, John F. Kennedy Boulevard, and 15th Street form a circle around City Hall at this point. Broad Street is one of the earliest planned streets in the United States and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a continuous north-south street, planned by surveyor Thomas Holme and developed for Philadelphia in 1681. Poplar street is north of Philadelphia City Hall and in this image, we are looking south from Poplar with the City Hall Tower in the distance. There is no credit given as publisher. It is post marked 1918 and is in good condition with minor wear and a clean, clear image. The reverse is also clean. The colors on the images are a more neutral B&W than the scan. Unless otherwise noted, I use Wikipedia, Playle's and Metropostcard for research and try to be as accurate as possible. Corrections appreciated.
