A bit of history: 6835 Gorsten Street was built in 1906-07 as part of a sixty acre real estate development by one of Philadelphia's major developers of that era, Frank Mauran (1864-1954). He negotiated with the Reading Railroad to build a new commuter rail station at his own cost if the Reading would agree to stop its trains there. Mauran call his development "Stenton" and gave the station the same name, "Stenton Station." The 60 acres stretched from Gorgas Lane on the north to Phil Ellena on the south and from the rail line on the west to Stenton Avenue on the east. By 1910, Mauran had built 41 three story homes on this land, most of them twins.
