The fairground in Penn's Common was entered by walking up a roadway that extended eastward from Penn Street and then turned left and continued along between reservoir and the prison's west wall. Notice that the entrance to the grounds, where visitors walked through one of two turnstiles and paid their 25-cent admission fee, had a massive front - not unlike a movie-set structure. In the foreground is the open South Reservoir which, though now covered, remains in use.
