This is a vintage informational chart titled "Housing Conditions, Philadelphia," which contrasts the urban housing layouts and sanitation conditions of "Old Philadelphia" and "New Philadelphia." The layout features small, detailed maps divided into upper and lower sections for each area, showing specific blocks with key housing data.

• Old Philadelphia (left side): Includes two maps for "Upper: Bainbridge to Fitzwater, Front to Broad" and "Lower: Poplar to Fairmount, Front to Fourth." Individual lots are densely arranged with narrow streets.
• New Philadelphia (right side): Includes maps for "Upper: Federal to Reed, Twentieth to Twenty-third" and "Lower: McKean to Wolf, Ninth to Twelfth." The housing layout appears more uniform and organized, with wider streets and planned blocks.

Below the maps, there is tabulated data comparing both old and new housing areas, including metrics like area (in acres), population, houses studied, houses undrained, partly undrained, use of privy vaults, houses on sewered streets not fully undrained, and streets one block long without sewers.

At the bottom, there is a set of four key actions titled "Steps Necessary in Order to Correct These Conditions" to improve urban housing and sanitation:

1. All built-up streets must be placed on the city plan.
2. All built-up streets on the city plan must be opened.
3. All open streets must have sewers laid in them.
4. All houses on sewered streets must be wholly undrained.

The chart emphasizes urban planning, sanitation reform, and the transition to modernized housing layouts as a solution to poor conditions in older neighborhoods.

The image is a historical document displaying a comparison of housing conditions in Philadelphia, specifically contrasting "Old Philadelphia" and "New Philadelphia." It features four detailed maps, each representing different regions of the city.

The maps on the left side represent parts of "Old Philadelphia":

• Upper map: From Bainbridge to Fitzwater and Front to Broad.
• Lower map: From Poplar to Fairmount and Front to Fourth.

The maps on the right side represent areas of "New Philadelphia":

• Upper map: From Federal to Reed and Twentieth to Twenty-third.
• Lower map: From McKean to Wolf and Ninth to Twelfth.

Between the sections for "Old Philadelphia" and "New Philadelphia," there is a legend explaining the symbols used in the maps, with designations like "All Built" in black shading and "Partly Undrained" in crosses, among others.

Below the maps is a comparative table detailing statistics for each area such as area in acres, population, number of houses, undrained streets, and use of privy vaults. It highlights the differences in housing density, infrastructure, and sanitation conditions between the old and new parts of the city.

At the bottom, there is a list of necessary steps recommended to correct the housing conditions. These steps include placing all built-up streets on the city plan, opening built-up streets, ensuring open streets have sewers, and fully undraining houses on sewered streets.

This document appears to be aimed at urban planning and improvement of public health and sanitation infrastructure in early 20th-century Philadelphia.
