Designed by British architect John Haviland, Eastern State Penitentiary was opened in the Fairmount neighborhood of Philadelphia in 1829. Eastern State was an early model of the Pennsylvania prison system which focused on solitary confinement and penance. At the time the favored prison method was the Auburn or New York system which employed labor and punishment. The prison's layout is in a hub and spoke style with a watchtower in the center and the different cell blocks radiating out. Eastern State operated until 1971 and now acts as a museum.
Special thanks to Lauren for the awesome behind the scenes tour.
