SUMMARY:Stephen Sites: A Girard Walking Tour of Old City
DESCRIPTION:Explore the remarkable legacy of Stephen Girard on this engaging walking tour through old city Philadelphia\n\n\nStephen Girard was headed to New York when his ship was damaged in a storm and he ended up in Philadelphia on June 6\, 1776. He liked what he saw and would make the city his home for the rest of his life as he grew from a French ship captain to the richest man in America. \nExplore the remarkable legacy of Stephen Girard on this engaging walking tour through old city Philadelphia. Beginning at the site of his former home on Water Street\, the trail winds through historic landmarks like the First Bank of the United States (later his private bank)\, the elegant rental houses of Girard Row\, and Pennsylvania Hospital\, which was witness to one of his deepest family tragedies. With each stop\, you’ll gain insight into how Girard’s vision for commerce\, philanthropy\, and urban development helped shape the early city—making Philadelphia not just the backdrop of his fortune\, but a living testament to his impact. \nThe tour will begin at Dolley Ottey Park at the corner of Elfreths Alley and 2nd St\, and end at Pennsylvania Hospital at 8th and Pine.
