Excellent pictorial history of Germantown,
By
This review is from: Germantown, Mount Airy and Chestnut Hill (PA) (Images of America) (Paperback)
The book primarily focuses on Germantown and good thing: Germantown is rich in history and Judith's selection of pictures demonstrates this.She really dug deep into the Germantown Historical Society's picture archives to come up with the treasures she did. For instance, on page 71, there is a picture of the James M.E. (Methodist Episcopal) Church, on the corner of Haines Street and Belfield Avenue from 1890. This became the site of the famed Holy Rosary Italian Catholic Church in 1927. I especially love the older, pre-Industrial Age pictures, when streets were unpaved and Germantown had yet to be really developed. The Images of America series from Arcadia Publishing is a pictorial history of America's neighborhoods. The Germantown book is definitely worth buying and proudly displaying on your shelf. |
