The 69th Street Terminal celebrated its 100th birthday in 2008.Septa runs its Market-Frankford Subway/Elevcted Line, Bus and
Trolley Lines,and a High Speed Line to Norristown from the terminal,
It also houses various stores, offices, eateries and a post office.
My family didn’t have a car when I was growing up, so
living in Upper Darby, I was always headed to or from the
terminal. There was a movie house, a dug store and a
market where we shopped on our way home. When I was first
married, I took the trolley from Springfield and Media to
the terminal and the El to work. This painting shows the
elevated crosswalk that was built since I used the terminal,
and the McClatchy Building with its ornate tiling that housed
the offices of ohn McClatchy: the man who built 69th Street.
