Stetson Hats...right next to Temple

Per our very brief discussion of Hatboro, PA in class on Monday, here is a brief entry from Phila Place (the neighborhood history project of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania) on the Stetson Factory that used to be near us at Temple.

Phila Place also has some useful demographic data on neighborhoods and how they've changed over time.  It's a great introduction to Philadelphia history.  The Historical Society of Philadelphia is also a very interesting place to visit, should you consider it for your Museum/Site Review Essay.
