Allison Hill (Harrisburg)
Allison Hill (also known as The Hill) is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is located directly east of downtown Harrisburg on a bluff overlooking the older original borough (now city) along the Susquehanna River. The Hill comprises many sub-neighborhoods with nicknames such as "The Ville" and the "Third Ward".
==Ambiance==
Allison Hill encompasses the Mount Pleasant Historic District. The neighborhood consists of single family homes, apartments, small businesses, and townhomes. Most of the architecture is brick, with Italianate, Victorian, or Federalist stylings.
Many of the homes on The Hill offer views of the Capitol rotunda from their upper stories. The neighborhood is also home to many magnificent stone churches--in some areas there is a church on every corner. Drive down Market Street in the springtime and you will notice beautiful gardens tended by St Francis Church and the Silence of Mary Home. In times past, the homes in the neighborhood were known for having beautiful gardens, and so many people grew grapes that in the fall when the grapes were harvested, residents would shut down the streets and make wine. Many homes still have the same ancient grapevines in their backyards.
The neighborhood is also dotted with murals, some hidden and others placed in full view of the main roads. Sylvan Heights Mansion, which is now occupied by the YWCA, and serves as housing for homeless women and children who are victims of domestic violence, sits on the hill and overlooks downtown.
