Happy 4th of July Friends! Since most people in the United States have today off, I thought instead of my normal blog post, I would share some beautiful images I captured during a visit to Society Hill in Philadelphia. As some of you may know, I do currently reside in the suburbs of Philadelphia, but a few years ago I lived in a studio apartment in Society Hill Philadelphia, one of the most historic neighborhoods in the city filled with cobblestone streets and beautiful brick architecture dating back from the birth of our nation! I hope you enjoy these images of the city I love!
As I said, the Society Hill Headhouse Square area of Philadelphia was once my home and has a very special place in my heart!
My husband proposed to me under this historic building and gathering place in the middle of a snowstorm!
The architecture in this area of the city is a beautiful mix of classical and colonial.
The homes are all beautiful brick, with brick sidewalks on cobblestone tree-lined streets. A haven in this busy city.
On the weekends, horse drawn carriage tours are a regular sight.
As are early American flags!
And our more traditional American Flags are abundant as well!
This breathtaking area of the city is truly Americana at it’s finest.
Blue doors and stunning green ivy,
Paired with unexpected whimsy!
There is certainly nothing better than exploring this sleepy neighborhood of the city,
and taking a moment to let your surroundings take you back to the birth of the nation!
xoxo,
What a lovely Independence Day post! Happy 4th! ???
Beautiful photos! I really miss the architecture of Philly and the suburbs, especially the brick and stone houses.
