Front Street (Philadelphia)

Front Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is a north-south street running parallel to and near the Delaware River. It was constructed when Philadelphia was laid out by William Penn in 1682.

Front Street is the origin street of Philadelphia's numbered street grid; there is no First Street, Front Street exists in its place, and numbered streets begin at the next major block with Second Street, approximately one-tenth of a mile to the west.

At least three stations of SEPTA's Market–Frankford Line are built above Front Street. They consist of Girard Station, Berks Station, and York–Dauphin Station. SEPTA also gives the address of Spring Garden Station as being on Front Street, however the actual location is in the median of Interstate 95 over Spring Garden Street, just west of Front Street.

Famous quotes containing the words front and/or street:

“The naturalistic literature of this country has reached such a state that no family of characters is considered true to life which does not include at least two hypochondriacs, one sadist, and one old man who spills food down the front of his vest.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

“Women are the people who are going to relieve us from all this oppression and depression. The rent boycott that is happening in Soweto now is alive because of the women. It is the women who are on the street committees educating the people to stand up and protect each other.”
—Nontsikelelo Albertina Sisulu (b. 1919)
