Vine Street was the northern boundary of the original city, 1682 to 1854. The 1830 corner-numbering key, therefore, gives only the southern corners (the northern being in the Northern Liberties).
CORNER OF VINE AND WATER
The 1830 directory, in which the same numbering system theoretically was in place, contained a key to the numbering of corner properties and gives the following numbers for this corner:
#151 N. Water, southeastern corner.
#202 N. Water, southwestern corner.
BETWEEN WATER AND FRONT, SOUTH SIDE
(1785) #2, Cooper, Harrison & Co.
(1791) #2 Vine St., no listing
BETWEEN WATER AND FRONT, NORTH SIDE
BETWEEN WATER AND FRONT, UNKNOWN SIDE
CORNER OF VINE AND FRONT
(1785) #9, Read, James, Register of the Court of Admiralty
(1790 census) Riffert, Edward, 1 FW male over 16, 1 FW male under 16, 3 FW females
(1791) #14 Vine St., Riffert, Edward, tavernkeeper
#10 and #11 in 1785 were probably on the southwestern corner, based on the matchup and
the 1791 directory information about the occupants there, which would make this property
probably on the southeastern corner, which would be appropriate for a tavern, anyway. Hopefully
more information will nail this down.
(1785) #10, Bonnell, Charles
(1785) Bonnell, Charles, cooper, corner of Vine and Front
(1790 census) Bonnell, Charles, 3 FW males over 16, 1 FW male under 16, 2 FW females
(1791) #16 Vine St., Bonnell, Charles, cooper, also at 180 N. Front St.
The Front Street address probably refers to this location, not a separate property, so
if so the even Front Street number would make this on the southwestern corner.
(1785) #11, Bonnell, Widow
(1785) Bonnell, Sarah, shopkeeper, corner of Vine and Front
This was probably on the same corner with Charles Bonnell.
(1785) Augustus, Lewis, shopkeeper, corner of Vine and Front
(1785) Mustee, Mr., merchant, corner of Vine and Front
The 1830 directory, in which the same numbering system theoretically was in place, contained a key to the numbering of corner properties and gives the following numbers for this corner:
#207 N. Front, southeastern corner.
#108 N. Front, southwestern corner.

(1790 census) Jones, John, 1 FW male over 16, 2 FW males under 16, 4 FW females
(1790 census) Jones, John, 1 FW male over 16, 3 FW females, 1 slave
(1790 census) Jones, John, 1 FW male over 16, 3 FW males under 16, 1 FW female
(1791) #32 Vine St., Jones, John, mariner
There are, unfortunately, three men named John Jones listed as heads of household in the
1790 census of the Northern District of Philadelphia, and because Northern District listings
did not note professions, there is as yet no way to know which of the three listings it is.
Until a way emerges, all three are given here.
(1785) #23, Drinker, John
(1790 census) Cost, Martin, 1 FW male over 16, 2 FW males under 16, 1 FW female

(1791) #56 Vine St., Fordham, Benjamin, shipwright
(1785) #33, Siddons, Josiah, house carpenter
(1785) Seddons, Josiah, taylor, Vine between Front and 2nd
Why he's listed in one as a carpenter and in the other as a taylor, is a mystery. Perhaps
there was more than one Josiah in the household.

CORNER OF VINE AND 2ND
(1785) #38 Vine Street, #94 2nd Street, Baker, Chrisopher, conveyancer
(1785) Baker, Christopher, conveyancer, corner of Vine and 2nd
By the numbering, he was on the southwestern corner. For some reason, the next numbers on
2nd Street, which would normally represent the northwestern corner, are not so listed; Seymour
Hart at #95 and Rev. William Rogers at #96 are both listed by White as living on 2nd between
Vine and Callowhill, not at the corner of Vine and 2nd. Similarly, neither Abraham Logan or
Charles Shockoa of #36 and #37 Vine-- the numbers one of which should represent the
southeastern corner-- are so listed, either.
(1785) Deshong, Christian, shopkeeper, corner of Vine and 2nd
(1785) Isenhoot, Andrew, #473 2nd Street
(1785) Isenhoot, Andrew, coppersmith, corner of Vine and 2nd
On one of the eastern corners.
The 1830 directory, in which the same numbering system theoretically was in place, contained a key to the numbering of corner properties and gives the following numbers for this corner:
#201 N. 2nd, southeastern corner.
#174 N. 2nd, southwestern corner.
BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD, SOUTH SIDE

(1791) #80 Vine St., Winemore, Thomas, potter
(1791) #80 Vine St., Huff, Tamer, nurse. Presumably Tamer Huff was one of the five free
white females listed in Winemore's household, but rated her own listing in the directory as
a professional.
(1785) #49, Hayley, John, Clerk of the City Court
(1785) Haley, John, Esq., counsellor at law, Vine between 2nd and 3rd
(1790 census) Campbell, William, 1 FW male over 16, 3 FW females

(1791) #82 Vine St., Campbell, William, sea captain
(1791) #82 Vine St., Peters, Rebecca, widow
(1791) #82 Vine St., Reeves, Mary, seamstress. Reeves may have been the other free white
female listed with Rebecca Peters; she does not appear in her own listing in the census.

The following five listings might have been on the block between 3rd and 4th:
(1785) #54, Bunner, Jacob
(1790 census) Goodman, John, 3 FW males over 16, 1 FW male under 16, 1 FW female

(1790 census) Smith, Henry, 2 FW males over 16, 2 FW males under 16, 4 FW females
(1791) #100 Vine St., Smith, Henry, labourer
Like John Jones above, there was more than one man of this name in the Northern District,
which means there is as yet no way to tell them apart.
(1785) #59, Swarts, Peter
(1790 census) Schwartz, Peter, 1 FW male over 16, 4 FW females
(1790 census) Schwartz, Christian, 1 FW male over 16, 1 FW male under 16, 2 FW females

(1791) #102 Vine St., Schwartz, Christian, house carpenter
(1785) #60, Steiner, George William

It seems likely that this is the George W. Steinhauer who in 1790-91 was at #15 Branch Street.

(1785) Bryan, George, Esq., judge of the supreme court, Vine between 2nd and 3rd
Was Samuel Bryan (below) a relative and also living here? It is not inconceivable that he
got his job as clerk of the general assembly through nepotism.

The 1830 directory, in which the same numbering system theoretically was in place, contained a key to the numbering of corner properties and gives the following numbers for this corner:
#169 N. 3rd, southeastern corner.

(1790 census) Albrecht, Charles, 1 FW male over 16, 1 FW female
(1791) #128 Vine St., Albrecht, Charles, joiner
A Hepplewhite piano appears in an advertisement in The Magazine Antiques for March of
1959, and is signed "Charles Albrecht/Maker/Philadelphia." Ketchum's American Cabinetmakers
says that Albrecht was active in Philadelphia from 1789 to 1824, and may have produced
both case and works.

(1791) #132 Vine St., Clawes, Henry, merchant
Oddly, Clawes does not seem to be listed in the 1790 census, though he does appear in the
1791 directory, an unusual circumstance.

CORNER OF VINE AND 6TH
(1785) Smith, John, printer, corner of Vine and 6th
The 1830 directory, in which the same numbering system theoretically was in place, contained a key to the numbering of corner properties and gives the following numbers for this corner:
#171 N. 6th, southeastern corner.
No # ("Franklin Square"), southwestern corner.
BETWEEN 6TH AND 7TH, SOUTH SIDE
The entire block between 6th and 7th on the south side, and part of the south side of the block between 7th and 8th, was taken up by Northeast Square, later called Franklin Square and now forming the Philadelphia side of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge.

The placement of the following 1791 listings on this block is a guess, due to a lack of matchups:
(1791) #159 Vine St., Brown, Elijah, broker

(1791) #163 Vine St., Harvey, Thomas, gentleman

BETWEEN 6TH AND 7TH, UNKNOWN SIDE
CORNER OF VINE AND 7TH
The 1830 directory, in which the same numbering system theoretically was in place, contained a key to the numbering of corner properties and gives the following numbers for this corner:
No # ("Franklin Square"), southeastern corner.
#208 Vine, southwestern corner.
BETWEEN 7TH AND 8TH, SOUTH SIDE
See notes for between 6th and 7th, south side.
BETWEEN 7TH AND 8TH, NORTH SIDE
Matched listings are fairly sparse here at the lightly settled end, so these listings are
on the north side of the street because #114 to #286 is the largest single jump in the numbers.
(1785) #286, Madders, James
(1785) Mainers, James, ship builder, Vine between 7th and 8th

(1785) #288, vacant or residents would not give name
(1785) #289, Lawrence, William, tavernkeeper
This may be where Sarah Potts (below) was; how many taverns could there have been on such
a remote block? And the fact that each directory only lists one for this block makes it the
more likely.
(1785) #290, vacant or residents would not give name
(1785) #299, Wilkinson, Widow
(1785) Wilkie, Rose, Vine between 7th and 8th
