Philadelphia-Franklin Court

A very enthusiastic Benjamin Franklin *fan* and his nurse after surgery. Hard to believe he was wanting to see Ben Franklin's house so soon afterward!
Ben Franklin Court from across the street.




























The Entrance to the court.

























Front - each side of the entrance






































The site of Ben Franklin's house-- marked with the house outlines.





















Looking around the court.










































My boys had to have a picture of Franklin's "privy" pit. Why these things excite little boys, I will never know.






































I thought this was so neat! A replica of an instrument made by Franklin called an Armonica. If you click on the images, you should be able to view them full-size.



















Entrance to Franklin's print shop. He started his print shop at the age of 22.




















I liked the quotes they had hanging on the wall--click the picture to view full-size
