Southwark, called Wiccaco by the Swedes who settled it, is the oldest part of Philadelphia. Originally an independent borough lying just below the southern boundary of the city proper, Southwark was named for its English counterpart which was similarly placed south of the City of London. Appropriately enough, this part of Philadelphia contains many of the City's oldest houses. On the west side of Front Street between South and Christian Streets, for example, thirty-eight houses have been certified as worthy of preservation by the Philadelphia Historical Commission, Of these, at least twenty-one were built before 1775, and several more before 1800. Similarly, in one block of Kenilworth Street--that between Front and Second Streets---sixteen houses still standing were built by 1765. One of these, No. lO+ Kenilworth, waiJ owned and occupied in the 1750s by Samuel Harding, the master woodcarver whose handiwork graces the interior of Independence Hall. Another house on this same street, No. 110, was built by John Palmer, bricklayer, the builder of St. Paul's Church, 217 South Third Street.
Among the most interesting of Southwark's architectural treasures are the little two-and-a-half story houses at the Pemberton Street entrance to Workman Place. The letters "G M" and the figures t11748t1 written with bricks in the gable walls facing Pemberton Street indicate the date of the buildings and their original owner, George Mifflin the grandfather of Thomas Mifflin, Governor of Pennsylvania, 1790-1799. The Place itself was named for a later owner, John Workman, lumber merchant, who purchased the property from the Mifflins and built the three houses on Front Street, Nos. 742, 744, and 746, in 181. Workman Place is now owned by the Octavia Hill Association.
Throughout the eighteenth century, Philadelphia was the major seaport of the continental British colonies. Many of the mariners and sea captains whose ships carried local wares across the Atlantic and up and down the coast lived in Southwark. Southwark was also the home of the riggers, shipwrights, ropemakers, sailmakers, and watermen who kept the ships afloat and the goods moving. The first of the United States naval yards in Philadelphia was in Southwark, at the foot of Federal Street. Here were outfitted and repaired the great wooden frigates, among them the Constitution, that defended American commerce against French privateers, Barbary pirates and, during the War of 1812, against the British Navy. Incidentally, one of the naval heroes of that war, Captain Stephen Decatur, was a resident of Southwark. His house still stands at 609 South Front Street.
Two more buildings deserve special mention. One is Bishop and Sparks' Shot Tower, built in 1808 and still to be seen at the northwest corner of Front and Carpenter Streets. The other, of course, is the lovely little church, Gloria Dci, at 929 South Water Street, built by the Swedish Lutheran congregation and dedicated to the glory of God in 1700.

All of these houses are old, some have been altered to make them conform to a later fashion in domestic architecture, others have been mutilated in various ways, but the majority remain substantially as they were. Without doubt, the whole group constitutes a record of Philadelphia's growth which is of major importance to the City, and to the Nation.

. October 1964 Report
The present plans for the Delaware Expressway between
Lombard and Washington Avenue will destroy 157 certified
buildings. Seventy-three of which were built before 1800.
Most of the structures are typical example of plain
dwellings occupied by the merchants, mariners and ship
artisans in the 18th and early 19th century. A surprising
number were still owned by their descendants well into the
20th century.
