Ever wonder how many Queen Village homes are certified as “historic?” A couple hundred? Maybe even 500? Actually, about 950 Queen Village buildings are on the Register of Historic Places of the Philadelphia Historic Commission—one of the largest concentrations of 18th- and 19th-century historically significant homes in the nation. The top five streets are Front (92 buildings), Queen (88), Fitzwater (68), Second (62), and Catharine (49).

Our neighborhood’s history over three centuries can be read in its architecture, the places where people lived and worked and continue to do so. Most of the homes are simple structures that reflect Queen Village’s roots as a working- and middle-class riverfront community.
