See ghost signs and learn of the businesses behind them, from lettered signs on building facades to those embedded in the sidewalks"Ghost Signs" are faded and often forgotten business and advertisement signs, usually found on the front or sides of buildings. The effects of decades of weather, neglect, and cover-up attempts have diminished their eye-catching glow, but they still provide a window into the past, revealing generations of a building's history and uncovering fascinating stories of our city. These signs can be found all over Philadelphia, but a large concentration of them are in the Old City neighborhood.Join Hidden City
