Elfreth’s Alley
By Linda Tancs
Dating to 1703, Elfreth’s Alley (named for blacksmith and property owner Jeremiah Elfreth) is a National Historic Landmark in the Old City neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. One of the oldest continuously inhabited residential streets in the United States, most of its 32 houses built between 1720 and 1836 are privately owned. Two adjacent homes (#124 and #126) function as a museum and gift shop open seasonally between April and November. Visitors can explore the historic alleyway on their own or join a 45-minute guided tour.
