Elfreth Alley is a historic working class neighborhood in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Some have said it is the oldest continuously inhabited street in America. It features 32 houses built between 1703 and 1836, houses whose original residents were shipwrights, silver smiths, glassblowers and furniture makers. The street itself is named after Jeremiah Elfreth an 18th-century blacksmith. The alley features Georgian and Federal-style architecture typical of the periods in which they were built. They include trinity houses, a unique style to Philadelphia.
