The Lincoln Highway in Pennsylvania Square - Old Philadelphia-Pittsburgh Pike #248169

Within convenient distance of the start of this trip across Pennsylvania are several of the most historic buildings in the United States, a priceless inheritance from the colonial and revolutionary periods. They are grouped fairly close together in the old residence and business center, on or about Chestnut, Market and Arch streets, within a few squares of the Delaware river. Well-built, most fortunately preserved, and guarded with care, their substantial and dignified architecture is in complete harmony with the associations and traditions which cluster around them.
