Overview
Elfreth's Alley in Old City is a cobblestone lane dating to 1703, often called the oldest continuously inhabited residential street in America, with 32 Georgian and Federal houses built between 1703 and 1836. It is a National Historic Landmark and a rare surviving example of 18th-century working-class housing, home to shipwrights, silversmiths, and glassblowers. The Elfreth's Alley Museum at Nos. 124-126 preserves a Colonial-era dressmakers' home with guided tours.
