Title A name given to the resource Thomas Edison High School Description An account of the resource In the 1960s during the Vietnam War, Thomas Edison High School lost 54 students in Vietnam, the highest number of casualties to the war from any high school in the United States. These losses had an immense impact on the student body and former students continue to praise their time at the school and protect it from the reputation many people try to place on it. Prior to 1957, the school was called the “Northeast High School”. This change was motivated by changes in the neighborhood since the name was demanded by another school in the area. This was difficult for many students who were proud of their time at Northeast High School and felt closely connected to the school and their fellow classmates. The school was designed by Llyod Titus in the very early 1900s in the “Collegiate Gothic Revival” style which is characterized by the towers and intricate but bold designs. A fire in 2011 brought a final end to the building in its most recent use as Edison High School. The building is no longer standing, but the memory of the school lives on for many former students and teachers. Ron Bower, a former student at Edison High School, remembers his time there: “You can call it whatever you want, the school was the people and I am proud to tell folks that I went there, and as a Vietnam veteran and a solder for 42 years, I am still in awe of those who died in Vietnam and I remember them every day.” Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Finkel, K.

Title A name given to the resource Fairhill Square Park Description An account of the resource In the early 1700s Fairhill Square Park was a piece of land owned by Isaac Norris. Isaac Norris served as mayor of Philadelphia in 1724 and was also a successful businessman. During the revolutionary war large portions of the land Norris owned were destroyed by the British, and the Norris family later restored their property. Eventually the family gave this plot of land to the Kensington District of Northern Liberties in order for the land to be used for public use. The park is now a great place for families to gather and has been used to host various community events. There is a playground for children to play with. This site even had an active facebook page in the early 2010s as a way to plan events. Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived "May 9, 1965 (Page 56 of 252)."

Title A name given to the resource North Broad Station Description An account of the resource Although this building is no longer part of the active railroad station, it has a history of connecting people dating back to the late 19th century. It was built in 1881 as a replacement for the Pennsylvania Reading Railroad’s Centennial Station, which was located on 32nd & Market Streets. It turned out to be so successful that it was later expanded, with intricate designs by the architect Frank Furness. During the 1920’s, as the city was booming with people and businesses, the Reading hired Horace Trumbauer to rebuild this station in the Neoclassical style, along with his chief designer Julian Abele, who was the first African American to graduate the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Architecture. Construction of this building cost $2 million to include large columns, giant chandeliers, and pink marble on the floors. It was opened on September 30, 1929 and was a symbol of expansion until the stock market crash, which happened a month later and catalyzed the Great Depression. Due to the state of the economy during the 30’s, many factories and businesses moved away from this area and the station became too expensive to operate. The site was then put up for sale in 1960 for $181,000. It was later renovated by Volunteers of America who created 108 housing units for people transitioning out of homeless shelters. Today it is a halfway house for people ending their prison sentences.

Title A name given to the resource Julia De Burgos Elementary/Quaker Lace Manufacturing Company Description An account of the resource The Julia de Burgos Elementary School sits on what used to be the site of a lace factory. The factory was built in 1880 to produce carpets for the Horner Brother Carpet Company. It was purchased once more (in 1894) before it was incorporated under the name Quaker Lace Manufacturing Company in 1911. Quaker Lace operated until 1987, employing dozens of workers at its peak and using 80 looms for production. The factory produced nets for the military during the Second World War. The factory was sold some years after it closed. Shortly after that, in 1994, the empty warehouse caught fire and burned down, destroying twelve homes in the process. The Philadelphia School District purchased the land and built Julia de Burgos there. Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Weber, C., Kosmin, I., & Kirkpatrick, M.

Title A name given to the resource Botany 500 Building/Ford Motor Company Description An account of the resource Once a dramatic backdrop to the Baker Bowl, The Ford Motor company constructed this 10 storey building that is still standing today at the intersection of North Broad and Lehigh Avenue. The structure was completed in 1914 with its 500,000 sqft of floor space that was used to produce Ford automobiles. The factory was able to churn out 150 cars a day that would be put directly onto Broad Street or shipped out through the rail spur located at the base of the building. During WWII the company shifted from car manufacturing to wartime material production such as helmets and vehicle components. Once the war ended and the company outgrew the site it moved to the city of Chester. The building traded hands after Ford vacated and ended up in possession of Cohen & Son’s in 1950, being used now as a garment factory. Producing suits, the building was renamed The Botany Building. This building was key in the rebranding of the areas as “Garment Square”. This was an attempt to bring the area out of the postwar industrial decline that had been felt across the country. Cohen & Sons eventually left the building for a different address, laying off around 2,000 people. The company later declared bankruptcy and the building was sold to an unknown investor with an address in Long Island, New York. City officials and community development workers have ideas for the building, but first they need to find the owner. Since the day the last whistle blew, the building has sat on the corner of Broad and Lehigh begging for new life. The building is upkept and maintained despite it being vacant, the windows being replaced in 2014. There have been many proposals at re-use such as Temple University utilizing the building as housing. Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Gassman, H. L.
