Built in the 18th century and home to the famous catfish and waffles meal. Catfish were once abundant in the Schuylkill River and Wissahickon Creek and was a popular meal for two centuries.
The Old Falls Tavern was located on Ridge Avenue and its back porch viewed the Schuylkill River. Once an elegant and glamorous place, it fell in disrepair in the middle of the 20th century. While in existence, this tavern was a popular place among the males in our family.
