Rittenhouse Square, one of William Penn’s five original public squares, continues to remain as Philadelphia’s favorite park and most fashionable residential district. It was recently named one of the top public places in North America by the Project for Public Spaces. The surrounding streets hold a vast array of architectural treasures and cultural destinations. The present design of the square (1913) was by architect Paul Philippe Cret, a graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts and the head of the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Architecture.
