Callowhill Cross Section

Just north of Center City, Callowhill Street and nearby blocks tell the story of Philadelphia’s emergence as an industrial “Workshop of the World” and the many strategies for revival after manufacturing declined. We will find traces of railroads, see how factories have been adapted for new purposes, and encounter unexpected outcomes of urban renewal. Our walk will include notable industrial and commercial architecture as well as parks, public art, and new construction projects that are enlivening the post-industrial landscape.
