The historic Elfreth’s Alley, dating as early as 1703, contains 32 houses all built until 1836 and lies within the Old City on the northeast corner of Center City, Philadelphia in Pennsylvania.
The cobblestone alley is lined with Georgian and Federal style as well as Trinity residences, named after local blacksmith and property owner Jeremiah Elfreth, that were typical in Philadelphia back in those days.
It features the Elfreth’s Alley Museum which preserves the 18th century home of a pair of dressmakers, restored to its Colonial look, while it annually stages the FĂȘte Day in early June that honours its diverse ethnic background.
