Rows of mansions sprung up south of Spruce Street, and the area north of Spruce became known as hotel row. Four-story brownstones lined both sides of North Broad Street, interspersed with the mansions and gardens of the nouveau riche and punctuated by clubs, theaters, schools, churches, and synagogues. Philadelphia's Broad Street: South and North is the first photographic history devoted exclusively to Broad Street in its gilded age. These vintage images provide a vivid reminder, if one is needed, of how dramatically the street has changed in the last one hundred years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Morris Skaler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738512362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738512365\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 6.54w x 0.35d","brand":"Robert Morris Skaler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925770404095,"sku":"9780738512365","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1365f626-cc93-4149-a2d1-92164fa83ff8.jpg?v=1681079252","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/philadelphias-broad-street-robert-morris-skaler-9780738512365","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
