Over 300 years later, Penn's design remains a defining characteristic of the city. . This exhibition is a celebration of civil engineering in Philadelphia-home to many innovative projects and structures that are designated as National Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks including Penn's city plan, Fairmount Waterworks, City Hall, Reading Terminal Train Shed, and Frankford Avenue Bridge.
