Elfreth's Alley

When doing the Philadelphia Raiders, I found the entire residential street not far from the old city of Philadelphia, also known as the oldest street in the United States. Most of the houses on the street were built in the 18th century (1728-1836), and there are still residents living in houses next to the street, come to visit, and try to reduce the volume of the tour. The entire street house is more than 300 years old, the whole street has 33 houses, 32 houses, another house has been transformed into a museum, open to the public on weekends. Red brick walls, stone roads, old-fashioned lights, here is like crossing into the ancient Georgian architectural era, and each house has its own architectural characteristics, although the house has been a long time, but each household is also very well maintained, completely can not see the era left on the house traces, The whole street is not very long, you can walk from the Independence Palace Freedom Bell, the street alleys have road signs

The embodiment of the American spirit, there are many small hotels here, and the youth travel here is very cost-effective. I choose to live here. Many residential doors are hung with flags. It is a historical building area with exquisite houses.

The entrance is not obvious, there is a small road sign, known as the oldest residential area in the United States, the building from 1728 to 1836, the current building is a museum, retaining the 18th century, restored to the colonial era of the general family style. There are still residents living inside, the outside is very cute and antique. We will go outside to take pictures. If you have a little more time during the summer vacation, there will be activities there, wearing 18th century costumes for a tour, very interesting!

There is only a fifty-meter street in the old city of Philadelphia. I'm here on a special trip. I really like the feeling here. The 32 houses on both sides of the street were built between 1728 and 1836. At present, only two houses have been opened as museums. The rest of the old houses are inhabited by residents, and there is no sign of commercialization. Flowers adorn the front of the house. During the National Day, the Star-Spangled Banner became the most beautiful decoration.

It's strange for international tourists, but it's a famous lane for local people. Looking at the introductory signs on the street, we know that this alley basically keeps the appearance of the early Philadelphia streets in the United States. The streets and houses are the characteristics of Philadelphia architecture when the United States was founded. They are very quiet and are visited by tourists in twos and threes from time to time. The houses on both sides of the alley are still in use by local residents, so they can not be visited inside. At the end of the street there was a fork road, lush, with a small courtyard, where people taking wedding photos came to take pictures.

It's a short historic cottage street, but I don't know what to make a fuss about. Maybe as a European, all this is a little too common and familiar for us. Don't be too disdainful, but don't spend too much time here. There are many more interesting things to explore in Philadelphia.
