Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Stranger's Illustrated: Pocket Guide to Philadelphia, Embracing a Description of the Principal Objects of Interest in and Around the City, With Directions How to Reach Them; Including the Grounds and Buildings of the Centennial Exhibition Persons unacquainted with the city should, at the outset, become familiar with the system of numbering the houses. On the streets running west from the Delaware River, the houses are divided into squares or blocks, by cross-streets, named consecutively, Front, Second, Third, Fourth, etc., and the commencement of each square or block commences also a new hundred in the numbering. For instance, at Second Street the numbering commences with 200, at Third Street with 300, at Fourth Street with 400, etc. The streets running north and south are also divided into squares in the same manner, Market Street being the dividing line between north and south.
