Notes:
In October 1951, volunteers and members of the Fox Chase Civic League renovated the first floor of an old school building, to become the Fox Chase Branch. By the mid-1960s, the library had outgrown the old building.
In 1967, the old school was torn down and a trailer provided temporary library service. On August 26, 1968, the new branch building opened at the same location. This is an exterior view of the back of the new building.
The Fox Chase Branch serves the Fox Chase community of Northeast Philadelphia.
