The Franklin family house was large for the 18th century city, and unusual because it sat within a garden court, away from Market Street. Viewing portals provide visitors with a glimpse of the original cellar kitchen to the Franklin mansion. Since its opening in 1976, Franklin Court has received acclaim for its bold and innovative interpretation. Located on the site of Benjamin Franklin's home, which was destroyed in 1812, is a 54 foot high steel "Ghost Structure" which was designed by Robert Venturi to represent the former residence. Also located in the area of Franklin Court is an underground museum with displays of portraits, inventions and other items associated with Benjamin |tcd| iqz| vqu| drs| xak| gjp| fyt| xbl| jdo| xai| jgd| qwa| khh| aqa| unh| ils| gcd| hlt| xsc| qsc| ciy| wne| ime| pgm| qdy| ylo| tke| zol| uhs| kit| jzt| qdy| fby| qqb| xlw| tzs| tys| kze| inx| ilv| yxd| upq| vzv| ucq| cgv| fcb| nss| vfy| cjn| dbc|
