Summary
Standing at Ninth and Spruce Streets, look west down the block and you’ll see a row of houses that appears, at first glance, entirely typical of nineteenth-century Philadelphia. But beginning in the early 1800s, Southern families, including widows and former plantation households from the Carolinas, settled here, drawn by the city’s culture, education, and opportunity. By the time of the Civil War, this stretch of Spruce Street had become known as Carolina Row, a quiet reminder that Philadelphia itself had become a place where North and South lived side by side.
