<<Actually there is (or at least used to be) an outine of Dr. Ben 
Franklin's House. Steel girders created the essential frame lines. It was easy to imagine
the rest of the building when you wanted to and to see right through the 
building -when you wanted to do that.>>

It is still there.  But of course, it was also here that after the city ( many, many,many years ago) tore down the house in which Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, and after a building that Frank Furness designed was built on that site - we tore that down and now on that site,  is a reconstruction of the house that Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence.
