1874 Atlas of Philadelphia, Volume 2: Nineteenth Ward

This is a full-color facsimile of Atlas of Philadelphia in Fifteen Volumes, Vol. 2, Nineteenth Ward, compiled from official records and actual surveys, based upon plans deposited in the Department of Surveys, and published by G. H. Jones & Co., Surveyors and Publishers, Philadelphia, in 1874. It is reproduced complete from the State Library of Pennsylvania copy. Note that this is one volume of a fifteen-volume set and covers the Nineteenth Ward only; Volume 1, the 5th, 7th and 8th Wards, is published separately.

The Nineteenth Ward was Kensington, the mill and shipyard district north of the old city along the Delaware, with Norris Square, the Frankford Road and the railroad yards that cut through it. Twenty-one plates show every lot with its dimensions and the name of its owner or occupant, with the street railways, factories, churches and squares. The volume also includes the ward gas map, and opens with Smedley's colored key map of the whole city and the index map of the ward with its printed location of streets, avenues, alleys, courts and places.

An essential reference for genealogists, house historians, and collectors of Philadelphia history.
