Around Town

Popular staircases seen throughout the area that take you from the bottom of the steep hills in Manayunk to the top of the steep hills in Roxborough.
Roxborough Avenue is considered the street that divides Manayunk from Roxborough. In the 19th century, those who lived in Roxborough own the mills whereas those who lived in Manayunk were the mill's workers.
St. John the Baptist Parish Churchyard Cemetery. Buried within its walls are John and Sally (Gallagher ) Keller.
Railroad track that runs across the Schuylkill River at Shurs Lane and Main Street.
St. John the Baptist Catholic Grade School. The 2005-2006 school year will be its last. William and Anna (McCaffrey) Gallagher attended school here as did their first three children William, John and Eugene.
