Penn's Common

This rare view of the Penn's Common fairground, taken in the mid-1870's, looks northwestward from about the present-day intersection of Hill Road and Clymer Street. Notice to what extent the racetrack stands above the fairground buildings to the left. Notice, too, the 159-foot-long grandstand along the western length of the track.
