Toogood AC. 2004. Historic Resource Study Independence Mall: The 18th Century Development Block Three Arch to Race, Fifth to Sixth Streets. Historic Resource Study. National Park Service
This report is the third and final historic resource study prepared by this writer for Independence Mall's three blocks. Each block has demonstrated unique aspects of Philadelphia's growth in the eighteenth century. Block One has the distinction of having residents of note in local, state and national history. Financier of the American Revolution, Robert Morris, and the first two United States presidents, George Washington and John Adams, for instance, each in turn lived at 190 High Street. Block Two is distinguished by prominent patriots, early national manufacturers, and numerous United States Congressmen, who took rooms on Sixth Street when Philadelphia served as the nation's capital. Block Two is also noted for its ownership by one prominent Quaker family, that of William Hudson, whose heirs divided up and sold the block in the late eighteenth century.
