Logan: The Triangle and a North Philadelphia Legacy
Logan sits in lower North Philadelphia, bounded roughly by Roosevelt Boulevard to the north, Old York Road to the east, Wingohocking Street to the south, and Broad Street to the west. The neighborhood developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as streetcar lines extended outward, and much of its original housing stock consisted of attached three-story rowhomes built on filled land along the former Wingohocking Creek corridor.
The Logan Triangle, a wedge-shaped area of approximately 35 acres bounded by Roosevelt Boulevard, 9th Street, and Wingohocking Street, became one of Philadelphia's most prominent cases of subsidence-related housing failure. Hundreds of rowhomes built on fill over the buried Wingohocking Creek began to crack, settle, and tilt through the twentieth century. Most were eventually demolished in the 1980s, leaving a large expanse of vacant land that has been the subject of multiple redevelopment proposals over the decades.
Logan was home to large waves of German, Irish, and Eastern European Jewish families through the early twentieth century, and shifted demographically toward African-American and Caribbean-American populations through the later decades. Substantial Southeast Asian, African, and Latino populations have settled in the area since the 1990s. Broad Street and Old York Road serve as the main commercial corridors.
