I asked that the spelling of her name be corrected —should be Harlow. Sorry....

Thank you for this! As a Philly expat who did not know about her, I'm welling up.

Very cool story! I was in Philly for a conference a couple years ago, and got a great deal on a hotel in Rittenhouse Square. I had a lot of fun walking around there and eating dinners on patios, but I had no idea of the area's cool history.
