Archibald Street - Old North End

Archibald Street - Old North End

Archibald Street extends from its intersection with Walnut and Spring Street, capped by the H. O. Wheeler School, established in 1904-1905, east toward North Prospect Street. It is part of what is now called the Old North End in Burlington. In 1890, the street was just beginning to become built up, and there were still large plots of land open to development. However, very little of this 1890s development survives today.


In the 1890s the population of this area of Burlington was mainly immigrant workers, with a large Jewish population. Moving east toward North Prospect street, a synagogue which is now on the National Register of Historic Places marks the trends in this area.

No historical photographs have been found of this area.
