The Independence Park Hotel-Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

“In Olde City Philadelphia, Chestnut Street was a central location for meetings, banking and social gatherings.
Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and other American patriots often wandered through our neighborhood, dined and attended church nearby.
The corner of Second and Chestnut Street was a thriving hub and our location, once housed a local brewery, a doll manufacturing plant and later Mr. Elliott’s dry goods store.
In fact, Mr. Elliott’s name still graces our roof line today.” To read more click here




Old City Philadelphia is packed with American history. It was founded in 1682 by William Penn and grew to the largest city in Colonial America.
