7th Street

Most of these listings do not match up, and so the block assignments of those that do not should be taken with a grain of salt; they are mostly based on numerical proximity to matched-up listings and jumps in numbering.

Jacob Hiltzheimer was one of the few 18th-century Philadelphians of the "middling sort"-- that is, the artisans that formed what we might call today the middle class-- to have left a diary. This book, edited by Jacob Parsons, was published as Extracts from the Diary of Jacob Hiltzheimer of Philadelphia, 1765-1798. Philadelphia: William F. Fell & Co., 1893. Hiltzheimer was also listed by MacPherson at #1 Heltzheimer's Alley, which was probably a private alley on Hiltzheimer's 7th Street property.
