	Powelton Village, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Powelton Village is a neighborhood of mostly Victorian, mostly twin homes in the West Philadelphia section of the United States city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
		Powelton's luster began to wane by the 1920s, and by the 1940s the neighborhood was populated by low income families and infested with "bottom" gangs, so called because members lived in the "Bottom," a stretch paralleling Market St. to the south of the Village.
		Powelton Village was home to the organization known as MOVE during the 1970s until neighbors complained of their uncleanly habits.

	Powelton Historic District
		That began with E. Spencer Miller's purchase of Powelton and subdivision of it into two groups of buildings: a row of elaborate Queen Anne houses by G. and W. Hewitt for Henry Gibson (1882); and to the rear, small suburban doubles, probably by the same architects that Gibson had used.
		Later apartment houses were erected at 35th and Powelton (demolished) and at 36th and Powelton in a Neo-Regency style (J. Clark, 1925); and at 36th and Spring Garden (J. Fieldstein, 1920).
		Finally, though Powelton is primarily residential with a sprinkling of institutions, it was made to be self-contained by its own neighborhood commercial strip along Lancaster Avenue.

		Found it interesting that the site ignores the fact that Powelton wasd the center of Philadelphia's radical community in the late 60s and 70s.
		I'm going out on the limb here, but from my talking with people in the neighborhood and doing some research, I don't think the Ira Einhorn incident and MOVE compound are what Powelton would like to advertise themselves as.
		They mention it in passing on the website, but a lot of the same people still live in the neighborhood from when MOVE had their headquarters at 33rd andamp; Powelton.

		Powelton Village, meanwhile, made the dramatic leap from a blighted neighborhood (in 1955) to an upscale residential area with beautifully restored Victorian homes.
		As Powelton Village evolved into a more affluent residential area, homeowners became increasingly concerned about the growth of Drexel University's campus and about the fraternities, sororities and student apartment buildings that are often located next to single family homes.
		A major issue looming in Powelton Village's future is the possible development of the 30th Street rail yards.

		Not only is the Powelton Village Civic Association (PVCA) in a fit of denial, but they also seem to be completely oblivious to the whole concept of property and common sense.
		Using the nicer areas of the Powelton Village to suggest that it is somehow a good community is like saying Iraq could be a good vacation spot.
		A Powelton resident actually had the gaul to compare Society Hill's murders as "much worse than our biggest problem of 12 year olds on bikes harassing students!" Yeah.

	PVCA, Drexel dispute over 32nd St. land - News
		The University's plan to use the 32nd and Powelton Avenue lot as the construction site of a 300-unit townhouse is being thwarted by members of the Powelton Village community.
		The letter also stated that the community greatly needed the park and that PVCA was ready to begin fund-raising for the park endeavor as well as seek potential partnerships and assistance from Philadelphia Department of Recreation, Fairmount Park and the University.
		The idea to use the lot for recreational purposes was debated again in April 1998 when Drexel began to explore the option of creating prefabricated townhouses on the lot, due to the shortage of housing opportunities for students ("Prefab town houses considered by Drexel as housing option", The Triangle, April 10, 1998, Page One).
