Description
This image was taken in the famous "barber shop cell" at Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, PA. The cell was not a barber shop, but the chair moved from its original location in the prison and displayed here. It is a favorite subject of photographers.The penitentiary was a first of its kind utilizing a radial arm type design with a central hub and "arms" of cellblocks radiating from the central hub. It was in operation from 1829 to 1971 and even housed Al Capone for a time. The building is a US National Historic Landmark and is open to the public 7 days a week.
