... that the proposed Christian Street Historic District, originally settled by Irish immigrants, is also known as Black Doctors' Row? Source: Names: "The Christian Street Historic District is located..." (p. 5) 'It is unclear when exactly the phrase "Black Doctors’ Row" entered into the local lexicon,' (p. 221) Settlement; "Christian Street, once known as Black Doctor's Row"; "Because most houses were originally constructed in the 1880s by upwardly mobile Irish immigrants, the Preservation Alliance will have to make the case that the Black middle-class neighborhood that flourished there between 1910 and 1945 is crucial to Philadelphia’s identity."

Interesting history to be saved, on fine sources (mostly one), no copyvio obvious. Hoe about an image? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:33, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gerda Arendt Most of the images aren't a good size/focus for DYK, but maybe this one? or a crop of it? I'm not sure how to add it to the DYK template. MaryMO (AR) (talk) 22:11, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
First African Baptist Church, 1600 Christian Street

I like it. = Perhaps also add Philadelphia, for context? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:52, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

To T:DYK/P1

Proper noun?

I notice we're using the full name with initial capitals, but stating that it is "not yet" an official historical district. So, seems to me, all or most of the many instances of "the Christian Street Historic District" in the text ought to be simply "the district" or "the proposed historic district" or "this historically important area" or similar forms.
