Join me on a self-guided GPS audio tour that’ll open your eyes to the full range of Philadelphia’s architecture, spanning every American style from the 1850s to the present. One of the richest periods artistically, it was also one of the wealthiest. Mark Twain called these years the “Gilded Age” because America’s economy boomed and vast fortunes were rapidly made.
Gilded Age styles like Second Empire Baroque, High Victorian Gothic and Romanesque all compete for your attention on this tour. The styles they gave way to as we entered the 20th century are eye catching too, like Beaux Arts, Art Deco, and International Style. Then from the 1970s we enter the Postmodern era, where almost anything goes architecturally – and that’s where we still find ourselves today.
Along the way, I’ll tell you plenty of interesting but not strictly architectural stories about Philadelphia and its buildings too.

“To believe all men honest is folly. To believe none is something worse.” - John Adams
We all know George Washington didn’t really chop down a cherry tree, so why do we keep telling that story?
Americans love telling stories about the Founding Fathers that make us feel proud to be a part of their legacies. Behind the grand stories of brilliance and triumph though, we find imperfect people who were only human. They were humans who were kind, cruel, funny, and very rarely chopping down trees.
This tour doesn’t just show you America’s Most Historic Square Mile (though it does that too,) it is a journey through who the Founding Fathers were, who they were not, and who we wish they would have been.
No axe wielding required.
This tour will include the exterior of the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, the President's House, Benjamin Franklin's Grave, Franklin Court, Elfreth's Alley, Betsy Ross' House, and more.
