Thanks! Surprisingly, a large amount of old historic structures still survive. But Philly has lost a few gems too, like Broad St. Station.

Nice thread, thanks for posting all the pics. For me, it would have be interesting to go back in time and see what life and the city was like then...and compare it to today.
