Overbrook: West Philadelphia at the Main Line Edge
Overbrook occupies the western edge of Philadelphia, immediately adjacent to the Main Line communities of Lower Merion Township in Montgomery County. City Avenue, also known as US Route 1, runs along the boundary and separates Overbrook from the affluent suburbs to the west. The neighborhood developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries when the Pennsylvania Railroad extended commuter service westward, and the Overbrook station on what is now SEPTA's Paoli/Thorndale Regional Rail Line opened in 1859.
Housing across Overbrook ranges widely. Overbrook Farms, the western section near City Avenue, was planned as a streetcar suburb in the 1890s and contains large stone single-family houses on tree-lined streets, many designed by architects of regional reputation. East of 63rd Street, the housing transitions to brick rowhomes built in the early twentieth century. The Overbrook School for the Blind, founded in 1832 and located on Malvern Avenue, occupies a campus that has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1980.
Overbrook Farms itself is a designated historic district recognized for its concentration of late nineteenth-century Victorian and early twentieth-century homes. Overbrook Station on SEPTA's Paoli/Thorndale Regional Rail Line anchors the neighborhood's commuter connection into Center City. Overbrook High School, one of the city's well-known public schools, serves students from the area and has educated several notable Philadelphia alumni over its history.
