Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church (Northern Liberties), Philadelphia

The Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church is located at Front and Allen Streets in Philadelphia, PA 19123 in the Northern Liberties, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania section of the city. The parish was founded in 1869, under the leadership of Bishop James Frederick Wood. Twenty-five years earlier, two Catholic parishes within about a mile of the church—St. Augustine Church, Philadelphia at 4th and Vine and St. Michael () at 2nd and Jefferson—were burnt to the ground in violent anti-Catholic nativist riots.
==Founding and History through End of 20th Century==

At the time of its founding, the area surrounding the church was largely composed of row houses which were home to Irish immigrants (although the ground for the church complex itself had earlier housed a spoke factory at Front and Canal (now Allen) Streets). Later the area became industrialized through the early part of the twentieth century.
In the early 1970s, much of it was gutted by the construction of Interstate 95 in Pennsylvania which emptied five blocks in the parish of houses and caused the demolition of houses on many other blocks in the way of the road. In the early part of the 21st century the area began to undergo a continuing process of gentrification with thousands of newly constructed and rehabilitated housing units as well as an increased workforce with the arrival, about three blocks from the church, of the (SugarHouse Casino ) which anticipates (an ultimate workforce of 1,500 full and part time positions ) and is planning an onsite hotel. (As for housing, the local Northern Liberties Neighborhood Association estimates (an increase of close to 10,000 new residents ) in the area since 2000.)
