Original Cobblestone

In front of you lies a remnant of a cobblestone street (also called "pebblestone")constructed about 1800.

Although William Penn, founder of Philadelphia carefully planned the placement of city streets as early as 1681, it was not until 1762 that the city assumed responsibility for paving.

Marker can be reached from Walnut Street.
