Broad and Cecil

In the heart of campus, what is now referred to as Liacouras Walk was once the Park Mall. Located between Norris Street and Montgomery Avenue, 18001830 North Park Mall once contained a line of row homes. Temple University purchased the homes and converted them into space for organizations, offices, and dormitories, beginning in 1925.
