Archaeological and Historical Investigation Metropolitan Detention Center Site (36 PH 91), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by Louis Berger and Associates PDF Summary

Book Description: "The site of the MDC is within William Penn's original town of Philadelphia, and part of a tract patented in 1690. Although the site was settled in the late seventeenth century, it remained on the periphery of the city until the early nineteenth century. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the site developed through a complex occupational pattern of mixed residential, commercial, and light industrial uses.
