Then and Now: 31st and Market looking west, Philadelphia

1881-2008

Today, the 3100 block of Market Street is occupied entirely by Drexel University, though one building from the original photo still stands. The Frank Furness designed Centennial National Bank at 32nd and Market now houses the University's Paul Peck Alumni Center.

Original Photo: "Public Works-1404-0." 1881. Philadelphia City Archives. PhillyHistory.org. Philadelphia Department of Records. 18 Dec. 2008. http://www.phillyhistory.org/PhotoArchive/MediaStream.ashx?mediaId=103173
