Deed Restrictions of Frankford and NE Philadelphia

The Center for Northeast Philadelphia History

Join Society members and guests for a slide show presentation and display on the genesis and impact of neighborhood deed restrictions in Northeast Philadelphia – including those of Northwood (Burk) and Crestmont Farms (Torresdale). Mr Menkevich has done extensive research on these deeds and identified several historic maps and surveys from the City Archives never before seen in public. Newspaper clippings from the Society’s Edward Becker collection will also be displayed.

 Refreshments served. Members free; Others $5.00

A first for the Society—members will have a chance to meet and greet local historians/authors—some who have previously offered programs at the Society. They will be signing copies of their books and sharing previews of their upcoming works. These make great gifts—join us!

Join Society members/volunteers in this festive Annual Holiday Tea.

Please bring light fare/desserts to share.
