Philadelphia - Old City

Bounded by Walnut, Vine, Front and 6th Streets, this area was part of the original Philadelphia. This was due to the area's proximity to the waterfront. Warehouse, factories, banks and stores sprung up. Later, these businesses drifted westward, the area fell into decline, but was reborn starting in the 1970s when gentrification began.

Attractions in this area include the Betsy Ross House, the Arch Street Meeting House, the United States Mint and the Congregation Mikveh Israel.
