Until the mid seventies, many of the beautiful old row houses, sometimes nicknamed, "Philadelphia Mansions" because of their huge size, existed on the eastern side of the 1800 block of North Broad Street. The houses were located between College Hall and Carnell Hall. They were torn down about 25 years ago to build a high rise, cream colored cement building called, Wachman Hall." This is a picture from 1901 of a couple of these fabulous houses.
