First or Front Street isnearest the Delaware, Twenty-third is at the Schuylkill, and the numberedstreets continue over in West Philadelphia as far out as the seventies.The fourteenth is called Broad Street, and is the main axis north andsouth. Market Street runs across the numbered streets and is popularlythought of as the middle line of the city.
