SynopsisPhiladelphia has Athens to thank for its classical structure, London for its Georgian and Victorian treasures, Paris for its grand boulevard, and William Penn for its name.

Ben Franklin's guiding hand also appears, the great polymath was involved in the world's first lending library and America's first hospital, medical school, think tank, and nondenominational college. This book pairs rare old archive images with modern views to show how the city has fared since the 19th and 20th centuries.

Yes! This is a wonderful picture book!
Yes! This is a wonderful picture book! I grew up and used to live in Philly. The pictures, both historic and current, brought back many memories from my youth. I highly recommend this book to residents, former residents, and non-residents of the City of Brotherly Love, which is Philadelphia.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
