Hello Everyone,

Looking for something to do today at 6:00pm? How about going on an architectural walking tour!! It may be hot, but tomorrow it is forecast to be even hotter, so get out and about tonight.

July 20, Wed. 6pm Bankers' Heaven: Architecture and Finance in Philadelphia
Meet at east entrance to Bourse Building, 111 S. 4th St.

In the early years of the new Republic, Philadelphia was the nation’s financial capital, home to the first stock exchange (1790), the Bank of the United States, the US Mint, the first securities exchange, the first commodities exchange, and other early banking and insurance institutions. The epicenter of this activity was Chestnut Street in Old City, where important early institutions were housed in architectural treasures, ranging from Greek Revival "temples" to later brick and limestone buildings such as The Bourse Building and the US Customs House. Explore the history of this important part of Philadelphia by visiting notable architectural landmarks, visible evidence of Philadelphia’s early financial prominence.
