back in the day (late 80s, early 90s), the uchs envisioned an historic district called the west philadelphia streetcar suburb historic district. look how big it was, shown here on the uchs website:
The streetcar suburb historic district is a National Register of Historic Places (Federal) district, and was approved in 1998. Listing on the national register makes individual buildings (or contributing buildings, in the case of historic districts), eligible for many grants that wouldn't otherwise be available and carries no restrictions on altering buildings when the work is funded or carried out by the federal government. (See http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/owners.htm). Partly because of the different boundaries and partly because of the different types of restrictions, not everyone who supported the Streetcar Suburb district also supports the Spruce Hill one.
