Haddington: A West Philadelphia Residential Neighborhood
Haddington lies in West Philadelphia, bounded roughly by 52nd Street to the east, Cobbs Creek Parkway to the west, Lansdowne Avenue to the south, and Girard Avenue to the north. The neighborhood developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries with the extension of streetcar lines along Market Street, Lancaster Avenue, and Haverford Avenue. Most of the residential housing consists of two- and three-story brick rowhomes built between 1895 and 1925.
Haddington was part of the broader streetcar-suburb build-out that populated West Philadelphia during the first decades of the twentieth century. The commercial corridors along 52nd Street, Lansdowne Avenue, and Haverford Avenue developed alongside the residential streets, hosting neighborhood retail, theaters, and small businesses. The neighborhood became predominantly African-American in the mid-twentieth century and remains a majority-Black area today.
Day-to-day retail activity in Haddington continues to concentrate along the 52nd Street and 60th Street corridors, with storefronts, service businesses, and smaller restaurants lining the blocks. SEPTA's Market-Frankford Line runs elevated above Market Street at the southern edge of the neighborhood, providing rapid transit into Center City and on to Frankford. The Haddington branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia serves local residents alongside the neighborhood's rowhouse streets.
