Founding Footsteps

Three generations. Three iconic sculptures. One powerful Philly story.

The Calder Family left their mark across the city in a way few families ever have. From Alexander Milne Calder’s work at Philadelphia City Hall, to Alexander Stirling Calder’s masterpiece at Logan Circle, to Alexander Calder’s bold modern piece near the Philadelphia Museum of Art—their works create a visual line through the city often described as the “Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.”

It’s more than art—it’s a generational legacy woven into Philly’s landscape.

Before it was Monopoly… it was The Landlord’s Game 👀

This iconic game actually started as a lesson on wealth and property ownership—but it didn’t become the Monopoly we all know until a Philadelphian, Charles Darrow, helped reshape and popularize it into a household staple.

From Park Place to Boardwalk, Philly played a major role in bringing this classic to life.
