Eastern State Penitentiary III

The Cells, Eastern State Penitentiary, Philadelphia, PA

The prison, which was built in a Gothic style to intimidate prisoners, was operational from 1829 to 1971.
While I was there, I took so many photos, I’m sharing them here by splitting them up into three categories: cells, corridors and the exterior of the building.
These photos are of the cells of the building.
