Hidden City Philadelphia is going all through the month of June, allowing access to some great hidden treasures in the city, including historic tours, art installations, and performances. The first stop for me was Founders Hall at Girard College. These photos are from the rarely seen Archives, as well as some of the empty classrooms which were abandoned because the acoustics were deafening.

So says Wikipedia - "Girard College is a private philanthropic boarding school on a 43 acre (170,000 m2) campus in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States. The school is for academically capable students, grades 1 through 12, and grants full scholarships to eligible students from families with limited financial resources, headed by a single parent or guardian."
