Built around archival photographs and concise historical notes, this local history traces the shared story of three Philadelphia neighborhoods. It follows Germantown Avenue from its beginnings as a Lenape trail through colonial settlement, industrial growth, commuter rail, and neighborhood life. Images from the Germantown Historical Society document changing streets, buildings, institutions, and residents from the colonial era into the twentieth century.
