Remer/Shackamaxon 1
The Remer Site was located in the Kensington-Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia at the former 1026 Shackamaxon Street property, now part of the PennDOT right of way along the southbound side of the I-95 roadway. At the time of excavation, the site consisted of a narrow empty lot, approximately 20 feet wide, situated between an I-95 bridge abutment and the standing 1028 Shackamaxon Street structure. Disturbance from the construction of the I-95 bridge abutment had eliminated approximately 90% of the backyard. The undisturbed excavation area was no greater than 4 feet wide, narrowing to 3 feet wide north to south.
