Hi, 

Off the top of my head, 18th and Locust or so( east of Rittenhouse 
Square) door hardware on Holy Trinity Episcopal Church (red doors on 
Locust).  Big old gate at 15th and Chestnut, painted many times but 
still nice.  Good luck wowing the family. Also, gates at University 
Museum across from Franklin Field in west Phila (Penn campus) Spruce St 
although you would pass over South St bridge from center city which puts 
you on Spruce (go figure).  There are also several early Albert Paley 
window guards on the 100 block of Lombard St (just east of Headhouse 
Sq.) Repeated design. And a nice gate of his on (I think) 100 block of 
Delancey St. in the same neighborhood.  Some Chris Ray stuff in that 
vicinity too.

Regards,
Bill Woolley
