East Falls Tour with the Preservation Alliance

East Falls transitioned from a small fishing outpost along the Schuylkill River to a major mill town in the 1800s, but the last mills closed almost a century ago.  As the mills were closing, the neighborhood developed into a 'suburb' within Philadelphia. This tour will look at the changes from 1900 to the mid-century with a walk through the Tudor District, The Oak Road, and School House Lane highlighting the highways and byways in between.

Meet at the intersection of Midvale Ave and Vaux Streets, Philadelphia, PA 19129 (map)
