Elfreth's Alley

The place where the American spirit is manifested. There are many small hotels here, and the youth hostels here are very cost-effective. I chose to live here. Many houses have national flags hanging on their doors. It is a historical building area with exquisite houses.

Alfres Alley is known as the oldest residential area in the United States.

The alleys are relatively unfamiliar to international tourists, but relatively famous to locals. Looking at the introduction signs on the street, we know that this alley basically retains the appearance of the streets of Philadelphia in the early days of the United States. The streets and houses are the architectural features of Philadelphia when the United States was first established. It is very quiet, and there are twos and threes of tourists visiting from time to time. The houses on both sides of the alley are still in use by local residents, so they cannot be visited inside. There is a fork road at the end of the street, lush green, and there is a small yard inside, and people who take wedding photos come here to take pictures.

The entrance is not obvious. There is a small street sign. It is known as the oldest residential area in the United States. It was a building from 1728 to 1836. The current building No. 124-126 is a museum. It has been preserved in the 18th century and restored to an ordinary family in the colonial era. style. There are still residents living inside, and the exterior is decorated very cutely and has an antique scent. We just went out and took photos. If we had a little more time to go during the summer vacation, there would be activities there. The guided tour in 18th century costumes was very interesting!

I want to know the earliest historical buildings in the United States. This neighborhood is also one of the origins of Philadelphia. There are many ports and old buildings, and the streets have retained the most original paving plan.
