    Hard to say without looking at the back, but I’d guess around 1910.

      Hi Eric. It was at 550 North Broad Street. It was torn down in 1961. Benjamin Franklin High School stands in its place.

        According to google maps, 550 Broad is the SE corner of Broad & Green while Ben Franklin HS is on the NW corner. Is this correct?

          Hey Joe,

          The second location of Central was at southeast corner of Broad and Green Streets. I believe this postcard depicts the third location of Central which was at Broad, Green, 15th, and Brandywine Streets.

          550 N. Broad Street is the address of Ben Franklin High School: https://www.philasd.org/bfhs/
