Shofuso

16 Oct 2024

We broke away from the conference and visited Shofuso, a Japanese style house originally built for MOMA in New York and later relocated to West Fairmount Park. We also stopped at the nearby Civil War Memorial and the former waterworks, the oldest in the nation to pump water for the city.
