 * Eastern State Penitentiary**  **By: Parmenus**

This is about Eastern State Penitentiary. Eastern State Penitentiary used to be a famous prison. Now people go there for a spooky tour on Halloween. They have vampires, werewolves, zombies, headless people, and all sorts of crazy things.

Today it’s a ruin. Notable inmates include Victor Andreoli, Morris Bobler, Joe Buzzard, Leo Callahan, Alphonse Capone, Freda Frost, Clarence Rae, William Sutton, and more. It’s really big, about 4 stories high. The bricks are concrete gray. It’s located on 2124 Fairmount Avenue. The phone number is 215-236-5111.

The penitentiary looks kind of like a castle. It used to be pretty and well protected. However, over the years it started to fall apart. No one bothered fixing up the place. It was built in 1829. It’s closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve/Day, and New Year’s Day. It’s open 10:00am to 5:00pm.

Eastern State Penitentiary is no longer keeping prisoners; at least I don't think it does. Most cell doors are just regular doors now. That's about the Eastern State Penitentiary.
