Christ Church
20 N. American Street
Philadelphia, PA 19106
How ironic that lightening struck the replica of King George II of England’s crown which used to perch atop the spire of this Revolutionary War-era church, now also a popular visitor attraction.
A wonderful example of Georgian Colonial architecture, Christ Church is bordered by a tree-lined brick path, small park and a cobblestone alley, which provide the perfect setting for this historic treasure. The tower and steeple made it the tallest building in America until 1856.
