Notes
  • Significance: Now housing St. Josaphat's Ukrainian Catholic School, the Mary Disston School was the third public school building constructed in Tacony. It was named for the wife of Henry Disston, who was the founder of the Keystone Saw Works. The Disstons worked to establish and nurture a model company town linked to the saw works that included provisions for housing, leisure, religion, and education.
