Northern Liberties Church Keeps Pace With The Neighborhood For Two Centuries

The former First Presbyterian Church of the Northern Liberties knows the business of conversion. This low-key brick structure built in the early 1800’s on Fairmount Avenue spent decades as a theater, a hall for German singing societies, a Polish community house, and now lives out its days as a children’s learning center. The Shadow tallies up the building’s long list of reuse
