Welcome to Southwest Center City!
House front, south 17th Street
Southwest Center City - an exciting place to call home.

THIS SITE IS NO LONGER THE PLACE TO BE FOR NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS (it predates the SOSNA website by several years and is in the process of being repurposed)

Visit the SOSNA website instead, or check into the Southwest Center City group on Facebook.

GO HERE FOR THE ARCHIVED SITE OF
THE CIVIL WAR HISTORY CONSORTIUM OF GREATER PHILADELPHIA

This site is a historical artifact, a snapshot of a turn-of-the-millennium website designed for the old 640 x 480 resolution screens and dial up connections. It's marginally possible that it will be redesigned in the future, but it's unlikely. The neighborhood from Broad Street to the Schuylkill River, South Street to Washington Avenue is rich in history, architectural landmarks and charming nineteenth-century rowhouses. A transitional area between Center City and South Philadelphia, it is home to several community service organizations, many churches, retail establishments and light industry.
