Philadelphia 4K - America's Founding Street - Driving Downtown USA

Fun Facts: Market Street in Philadelphia has been called the most historic street in the United States due to its historic sites. The Declaration of Independence was written by Thomas Jefferson on this street. Home to the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and National Constitution Center. Benjamin Franklin's house was located near the intersection of Fourth Street. Benjamin Franklin may have performed his famous kite-flying experiment near Third and Market Streets. The mansion of Robert Morris, financier of the American Revolution, was located near Sixth and Market Streets. This house, known as the President's House, was used by George Washington and John Adams as their residence during their terms as President. Market Street is still one of the principal locations of business and commerce in Philadelphia.

Overview
Market Street, originally known as High Street, is a major east–west street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The High Street was the familiar name of the principal street in nearly every English town at the time Philadelphia was founded. But if Philadelphia was indebted to England for the name of High Street, nearly every American town is, in turn, indebted to Philadelphia for its Market Street. Long before the city was laid out or settled, Philadelphia's founder, William Penn, had planned that markets would be held regularly on the 100-foot (30 m) wide High Street. The city's first market stalls were situated in the center of the thoroughfare starting at Front Street and proceeding west eventually to 8th Street. The stalls soon became covered and were not taken down as planned. Later, additional covered sheds appeared west of Center Square as the city expanded westward. The street began to be called Market Street around 1800. The road's new name was made official by an ordinance of 1858, coincidentally, just a year before the market sheds were ordered removed.

Market Street has been called the most historic highway in the United States because of the various historic sites along its eastern section. Many of Benjamin Franklin's activities were centered along Market Street. His house was located near the intersection of Fourth Street, and he may have performed his famous kite-flying experiment near Third and Market Streets. Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence in a boarding house (the Graff or Declaration House) once located at the Seventh Street intersection. The mansion of Robert Morris, financier of the American Revolution, was located near Sixth and Market Streets. This house, known as the President's House, was used by George Washington and John Adams as their residence during their terms as President. (The house was more or less on the site of the northern part of the modern-day Liberty Bell Center.) Around 1795 Theophilus Cazenove lived at Market Street. Several important finance and publishing firsts also occurred along Market Street between Second and Fourth Streets during the 18th century. Market Street is still one of the principal locations of business and commerce in Philadelphia.

Landmarks
The most famous landmark on the road is Independence National Historical Park, at Fifth and Market Streets. Home to the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and National Constitution Center, the complex is the heart of Philadelphia's Old City neighborhood.

East of the intersection of Front and Market Streets lies an entrance to Penn's Landing, alongside the Delaware River.

At 2nd Street stands the historic Christ Church, once the tallest building in North America.

Adjacent to Independence Mall is the National Museum of American Jewish History, which relocated to that location in 2010 and occupies the spot once held by CBS 3 and KYW Newsradio 1060.

Reading Terminal, the former grand railroad station for the Reading Railroad is located on the northeastern corner of 12th and Market Streets. It now serves as the grand entrance to the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

The PSFS Building, generally regarded as the first International Style building in the US, stands at the intersection with 12th Street.

Philadelphia City Hall stands atop Market Street's intersection with Broad Street. Commuters can access the Market-Frankford Line, Broad Street Line, Subway Surface Lines, and Suburban Station through the 15th Street Headhouse (among other access points) across from City Hall.

One Liberty Place, formerly Philadelphia's tallest building, is located at the southeast corner of 17th and Market Streets. (It was surpassed in height by the Comcast Center, located a block to the north, in June 2007).

In the University City section of Philadelphia, Market Street crosses through the campuses of Drexel University and University City Science Center. As a result, the section of Market Street along University City is also signed Avenue of Technology.

702 MULBERRY STREET, LOUISVILLE, GA 30434
c. 1876
$15,000

From the Georgia Trust:

The Little House in Louisville, GA is a rare grand example of residential Gothic Revival construction in Georgia. With 5,200 square feet situated on .66 acres, the house was built in 1876 at an estimated cost of $4,000 and features remarkable detailing both on the interior and exterior. The first floor features a dramatic central stair with original curved handrail, 15 foot ceilings, etched glass transoms over interior doors, and full height windows that open onto a full wrap around porch. Plaster crown and frieze are intact where visible, although drop down ceiling tiles and water damage has obscured the detailing in some rooms. The upstairs features four well sized rooms with simpler detailing. Original mantels and hardware are found throughout. There are two symmetrical additions on the rear of the house, including a large kitchen area. Located one block from the historic commercial district, the house would lend itself to use as a bed-and-breakfast or professional office space, as well as a private residence.

The Little House is endangered by significant leaks in the roof, left unattended for several years. Rehabilitation will require significant investment of time and capital. A new roof is an immediate need, along with repair of water damage. The exterior siding and detail require inspection, repair, and paint. All systems, including electrical, plumbing, and HVAC will need to be repaired and updated. The Louisville Downtown Development Authority recently gained control of the property with the goal of stabilizing and saving the house. The DDA has temporarily patched the roof to prevent further deterioration.

Breakfast in Milford Pennsylvania

What a sumptous meal we have together with some friends.

Milford is a borough in Pike County, Pennsylvania, United States, and the county seat. Its population was 1,021 at the 2010 census.[5] Located on the upper Delaware River, Milford is part of the New York metropolitan area.

The area along the Delaware River had long been settled by the Lenape, an Algonquian-speaking indigenous tribe that lived in the mid-Atlantic coastal areas, including western Long Island, and along this river at the time of European colonization. The English also called the people the Delaware, after the river they named after one of their colonial leaders.

Milford was founded in 1796 after the American Revolutionary War as a United States settlement on the Delaware River by Judge John Biddis, one of Pennsylvania's first four circuit judges. He named the settlement after his ancestral home in Wales.[6]

Milford has a large number of historical significant buildings, many constructed in the nineteenth century and early twentieth centuries. Some are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, while numerous others are included in the Milford Historic District, also listed on the NRHP. Of the 655 buildings in the district, 400 of them have been deemed to be historically significant.[7] The district is characterized by a variety of Late Victorian architecture.

Grey Towers National Historic Site, the ancestral home of Gifford Pinchot, the noted conservationist, two-time Governor of Pennsylvania and first head of the U.S. Forest Service, is located in Milford. It was designed by architect Richard Morris Hunt has been designated a National Historic Site.

From 1904 to 1926, Grey Towers was the site of summer field study sessions for the Master's program of the Yale School of Forestry, together with the Forester's Hall, a commercial building that was adapted and expanded for this purpose.[8] Jervis Gordon Grist Mill Historic District, Hotel Fauchere and Annex, Metz Ice Plant, and Pike County Courthouse are also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Nearby is Arisbe, the home of Charles S. Peirce, a prominent logician, philosopher and scientist in the late 19th century, and another NRHP property.[3]

The Pike County Historical Society Museum in Milford includes in its collection the Lincoln Flag, which was draped on President Abraham Lincoln's booth at Ford's Theatre the night he was assassinated. The flag was bundled up and placed under the President's head, and still bears his blood. It was kept by stage manager Thomas Gourlay. He passed it down to his daughter Jeannie, an actress who had appeared in the play, Our American Cousin, at the theatre that night. She later moved to Milford and the flag was donated to the museum after her death.[9]

In September 2007, Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel named Milford second on its list of Ten Coolest Small Towns in Pennsylvania.[10] (Wikipedia)

10. Homes in Gary, Indiana ($1)
With people moving to larger cities and away from rural communities, homes and neighborhoods get run down and in urgent need of repair. Local authorities have to come up with creative solutions on how to deal with this, but Gary, Indiana, came up with a radical idea- they would make homes available to buy for only one dollar!

9. Italian Village Home ($54/month)
If you’ve always wanted to move to Europe amongst the glorious mountains of Italy, then you missed out on a great offer that was made by the village of Bormida in 2017. After population numbers started falling, the mayor wanted to encourage new people to come the area. You don’t want your town to die!! So he started a scheme that made houses very affordable.

8. Homes in Stoke, UK (£1)
Homes in the UK sell for an average of 180,000 pounds, which is the equivalent to about 230,000 dollars, and are notoriously difficult to purchase for large amounts of people in the country. That’s why, when special offers are made available, there’s huge interest and they go in no time at all.

7. Czech Castle ($13,000)
If a house is too low-key for you, and you'd rather snap up a castle for a bargain, then there was an offer in 2016 that would have been perfect- in the Czech Republic. It's a country known for its opulent architecture, and this opportunity was amazing. The Libejovice chateau, a stunning mustard-colored Renaissance palace, was put on the market for just 13,000 dollars.

6. Japanese Home ($0)
According to a report in 2013, there were more than 8 million unoccupied homes across Japan. This is a surprise for a country that's so densely populated, but people tend to live in the cities- leaving some rural areas feeling desolate and abandoned. Still, in Tokyo itself it was estimated that 1 in 10 homes were empty, which is far more than the rates seen in New York or London.

5. An Italian Castle (0$)
See, you can still have your Italian Villa!! Throughout history, large numbers of castles, farmhouses, and monasteries were built across Italy- but now there's not such an interest in keeping them maintained. It's a shame because they are integral to the character of the landscape, so the authorities came up with a plan to rescue them.

4. New Jersey Mansion ($10)
As you know, it’s not easy, or necessarily affordable, to buy a mansion in the US, but in 2017 a New Jersey mansion went on sale for…. 10 dollars! Yes you heard that right! Why just $10?? Of course, there are a few catches that went along with it.

3. Sardinia ($1)
Sardinia is a beautiful island off the coast of Italy. The town of Ollolai is in the mountain region of the island, with views out across the fields, and has plenty of uninhabited houses available! In the past 50 years, the number of people in the town has more than halved and, with an aging population, there are very few births each year.

2. Mansion in Columbia ($170,000)
If you’ve got a bit more cash, but want a great deal, then this mansion might interest you…. It was on sale for 170,000 dollars! See, amazing mansions aren’t only for the extremely wealthy!! Here you can see this beautiful home that was for sale on Zillow.

1. Mansion in Indiana ($190,000)
Now on to Muncie, Indiana! This mansion was on sale for 190,000 dollars! While that might sound like a lot at this point, it’s an absolute bargain when you see what it has to offer. With 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms across 6,080 square feet, which includes more than an acre of land, the property has enough room to park 20 cars outside- you know, for all those dinner parties you are going to throw!

Origins Explained is the place to be to find all the answers to your questions, from mysterious events and unsolved mysteries to everything there is to know about the world and its amazing animals!

The place where murders are rarely solved

On Indianapolis’s northeast side, most killings go unsolved. Alexander Brown, 24, was one of those victims, brutally murdered and dumped in an alley. His family is waiting for justice as the city struggles with a surge in homicides. Read the story: Subscribe to The Washington Post on YouTube:

Top 5 Prettiest Towns in United States

Top 5 Prettiest Towns in United States

#5. Fort Benton, Montana

Fort Benton is a city in and the county seat of Chouteau County, Montana, United States. A portion of the city was designated as a National Historic Landmark District in 1961. Established in 1846, a full generation before the U.S. Civil War, Fort Benton is one of the oldest settlements in the American West. Founded as a fur-trading post in 1847, the town flourished well into the 1860s, when the Gold Rush cash was flowing back eastward. The railroad would eventually put the brakes on the town’s growth, however, but not before Fort Benton earned a reputation as the sort of place where disagreements were regularly settled with sidearms.

#4. Breckenridge, Colorado

In a state known for its charming alpine ski towns, Breckenridge stands out both for its stunning vistas, charming streets, family-friendly vibe and – most importantly, for many visitors – unsurpassed proximity to a wide variety of world-class ski options. With giant peaks, more than 150 trails, North America’s highest chairlift, and a wide variety of options for everyone from the shakiest of beginners to the most jaded back-country daredevils, Breck really does have something for everyone.

#3. Gatlinburg, Tennessee

With its charming, quaint old buildings in the centre of town, its dramatic mountain backdrop and the only ski resort in Tennessee, Gatlinburg has become a popular tourist destination for regional fun-seekers. Located on the border of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Gatlinburg benefits from its location as a tourist draw and reinforces it with attractions such as an aerial tramway, an aquarium, white-water rafting, hiking, and even a haunted house. But let’s not kid ourselves: as pretty and irresistible the town is, the real draw in this part of Tennessee is the nature.

#2. Camden, Maine

Camden is a famous summer colony in the Mid-Coast region of Maine. Similar to Bar Harbor, Nantucket and North Haven, Camden is well known for its summer community of wealthy Northeasterners, mostly from Boston, New York and Philadelphia. “It’s like a movie set. In fact, it has often been a movie set.” Camden retains a certain salty grit and allows more of its working-class roots to show — though, like many New England seaside villages, the residents are more likely to be affluent these days.

#1. Newport, Rhode Island

Known for being the city of some of the “Summer White Houses”. Like a town stuck in time but with the occasional hole in the space-time continuum to allow for modern touches, Newport, with its stunning harbor and bevy of old homes, is the quintessential New England town. Newport’s fame began as a 19th century summertime visitors’ magnet of a town, and it still reliably draws in clusters of visitors, both for the daytime shopping, eating, and sightseeing options.
