Notes
  • Significance: St. Vincent's Catholic School is the physical and institutional remnant of an important part of Tacony's pre-industrial history. St. Vincent's Orphan Asylum was founded in Tacony in 1855 and the society set up to oversee its establishment funded the endeavor through lot sales under the title "Tacony Cottage Association." These early land transactions expanded Tacony's modest street grid and introduced the Disston family to the locale, ultimately leading to Henry Disston's important decision to move his Keystone Saw Works there beginning in 1872.
