Ghost Hunting

03 September 2009, 02.17 | Posted in history | No comments »

Whenever some free time presents itself (rarely) I’ve been heading into North Philly to hunt for “ghosts.” These markers of industry past are great signals of the lives once lived in the neighborhood. I’m particularly fond of finding sets that connect discrete parts of a specific trade. For example, finding a horse hair dealer near an upholsterer.

Anyway, here are a few recent pictures. All are taken north of Girard and east of Broad Street.
