Arcadia caption text: With the migration of upper middle-class Philadelphians west of Broad Street during the mid-19th century came the development of the Rittenhouse Square area. Built 1856-1859 at 200 South Nineteenth Street, Holy Trinity Church, photographed here in December 1860, housed the wealthiest congregation in the city. The northwest corner of Rittenhouse Square is visible in front of the Norman-style Episcopal church completed after the designs of Philadelphia architect John Notman.
