The Christian Street Historic District was at its heyday in the early 20th century when it was a center for homes, businesses, and cultural institutions of African-Americans, with many of its black residents among the city's most prominent. The district was at that time termed "Main Street for Philadelphia's Black Elite." The neighborhood was officially designated as an historic district by unanimous vote of the Philadelphia City Council in July 2022. (en)
