Strawberry Mansion: The Jewish Community of North Philadelphiais a testament to the urban experience in American Jewish life. Perfect for fans of Jewish-American History.
A section of North Philadelphia, Strawberry Mansionis nestled high on the banks of the Schuylkill River, adjacent to the large expanses of Fairmount Park, with many wonderful venues such as Woodside Park.
The area became the setting for America's premiere Jewish Community in the 20th century, with over 50,000 inhabitants.Strawberry Mansionwas the first Jewish suburb within an urban setting. Affectionately known as the Mansion, it was only a trolley car ride away from South Philadelphia's immigrant district. Jewish families migrated from one neighborhood to another as they advanced economically in American society during the early 1900s. By the mid-1950s, the decision to discontinue the once heavily traveled Route,9trolley car marked the decline and eventual demise of Strawberry Mansionas a Jewish enclave.
