Eli K. Price Estate: Site of 1930s Passon Field

An investment property acquired in West Philadelphia by Eli K. Price in the 19th century appears on this Bromley map, published in 1927. The map also shows the Chatham Apts., which would be replaced by the Croydon Apartments late in the decade. The site at 48th and Spruce St. served as the athletic field that Harry Passon rented for use as his personally branded baseball park, Passon Field, in the 1930s.
