                <text>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. &#13;
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.&#13;

                <text>In 1845 a man by the name of Daniel Gaston became the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Cohocksink on Germantown and Huntington Avenues. Gaston was known for his “untiring zeal” which persisted until passed away in April of 1865. Rev. Mutchmore, Gaston’s successor, set out to organize a mission band, inspiring a group of men and boys came together to create a constitution which created the Gaston Memorial Missionary Society. The Gaston Presbyterian Sunday School was created in 1875 and the Church was moved in 1876 at 11th and Cumberland. They later moved operations to Germantown and Huntington in 1876, then finally to their current home at 11th and Lehigh in 1883. It was here that the First Christian Endeavor Society in Pennsylvania was formed, which has since branched out to create 4 societies. On January 24, 1930 a fire destroyed the Church and a new 15th Century Gothic Style church broke ground in May of that year. As noted in their Golden Jubilee 50th anniversary pamphlet: “If we want the Church to come to spiritual power, we must rebuild churches that, by reason of massive stability, richness, splendor, voiceful pictures on windows, shall be worthy of acceptance as temples of God, and show forth of men the mystery and sublimity of faith, satisfy stifled cravings for art and beauty, and lift them into exhaustion of spiritual conviction.” On March 15th, 1931 the New Gaston Presbyterian Church opened their doors.  Just a few short years later the Gaston Church was a site of controversy amidst the fight to end school segregation. In 1964 the local Clymer School was overcrowded, and 191 students were sent to Gaston Church, where makeshift classrooms were set up. The Church was picketed over 8 times, protesting the use of the church for school classes. Some picketers' signs read “The church is a foundation but not for segregation” and “We’re sick of being treated as second class citizens.” At that time, the Philadelphia chapter NAACP president Cecil B Moore revealed that, although there were 195 vacancies at the local Muhl School, students from Clymer School were placed in this Church because the Board of Education refused to allow Clymer students to relocate to Muhl.   </text>
