View photographed during the 1860s showing the William Penn Hotel at 10 Letitia Street between Market and Chestnut streets. View also includes the adjacent building incorrectly identified by 19th-century historians as the Letitia Penn House. Signs for V. Rundnagel's German saloon and Jacob Sinn, importer of liquor, (operating at the address in 1868) adorn the Penn house. The residence was incorrectly recorded as built in 1682 by William Penn and given to his daughter in 1701.
