Title A name given to the resource Avenue Theatre Description An account of the resource For many years, 2713 Germantown Avenue was home to many theatres (under an array of names). The building was designed by Philadelphia architect A.E. Westover. The theater first opened as the Amusement Parlor in 1912, showing silent movies with live piano music for 5 cents admission. The Amusement Parlor became the Temple Theatre, then the Elmer Theatre, and then The Avenue Theatre in 1932. They were known for their “last-run” movies and Saturday ‘kiddie matinees’ with admission of $2.50 for adults and $1.25 for children, and their seating capacity of 500. Unfortunately, on October 7, 1984 a fire - later determined to be arson - ravaged the Avenue Theatre, taking 3 hours to put out. The theater closed shortly after the incident. The lot is now part of the Little Village Academy child care center located at 2711 Germantown Avenue. Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived B, Rick, and Howard B.

Title A name given to the resource Baker Bowl Description An account of the resource At the intersection of Broad and Lehigh, the Philadelphia Phillies used to play in a stadium named the Baker Bowl. Currently, this site is a gas station, but it has a rich history that has not lost its significance over the years. The Baker Bowl was named after the Phillies owner at the time, William F. Baker, who owned the team from 1913 to 1930. The stadium received recognition for its unusual rectangular shape which could hold 12,500 fans. The Phillies played in the Baker Bowl from 1887 to 1938, and it was also briefly home to the Philadelphia Eagles from 1933-1935. The Baker Bowl also hosted the 1915 World Series, a negro league’s “Colored World Series”, as well as a series of boxing and racing events. Babe Ruth, who is respected as one of the greatest baseball players ever, even played his last professional game in this ballpark. Unfortunately, the Phillies left the stadium due to a series of fires that led to the destruction of the grandstands and in 1950 the stadium was demolished.

Title A name given to the resource Botany 500 Building/Ford Motor Company Description An account of the resource Once a dramatic backdrop to the Baker Bowl, The Ford Motor company constructed this 10 storey building that is still standing today at the intersection of North Broad and Lehigh Avenue. The structure was completed in 1914 with its 500,000 sqft of floor space that was used to produce Ford automobiles. The factory was able to churn out 150 cars a day that would be put directly onto Broad Street or shipped out through the rail spur located at the base of the building. During WWII the company shifted from car manufacturing to wartime material production such as helmets and vehicle components. Once the war ended and the company outgrew the site it moved to the city of Chester. The building traded hands after Ford vacated and ended up in possession of Cohen & Son’s in 1950, being used now as a garment factory. Producing suits, the building was renamed The Botany Building. This building was key in the rebranding of the areas as “Garment Square”. This was an attempt to bring the area out of the postwar industrial decline that had been felt across the country. Cohen & Sons eventually left the building for a different address, laying off around 2,000 people. The company later declared bankruptcy and the building was sold to an unknown investor with an address in Long Island, New York. City officials and community development workers have ideas for the building, but first they need to find the owner. Since the day the last whistle blew, the building has sat on the corner of Broad and Lehigh begging for new life. The building is upkept and maintained despite it being vacant, the windows being replaced in 2014. There have been many proposals at re-use such as Temple University utilizing the building as housing. Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Gassman, H. L.
