Washington Square, Philadelphia PA
Washington Square is one of the most historic and elegant areas in Philadelphia, centered around the 6.4-acre park of the same name in eastern Center City. It combines colonial history, residential charm, and urban walkability. Washington Square itself is one of the five original public squares planned by William Penn in 1682. Today it is part of Independence National Historical Park and contains the Tomb of the Unknown Revolutionary War Soldier, an eternal flame memorial honoring Revolutionary War dead.
