Geocache Description:


Welcome to Fitler Square

Fitler Square is named after Edwin H. Fitler, a well-regarded 19th century mayor of Philadelphia. The Square was dedicated to his memory shortly after his death in 1896.

Among his many accomplishments, Edwin H. Fitler was the Republican Presidential elector for Pennsylvania in 1876, vice-president of the Manufacturer's Club (then located at 1407 Walnut Street) an active member of the Philadelphia Club (then located at 1301 Walnut Street), and an active member of the Art Club of Philadelphia (then located at 222 South Broad Street). In addition to Fitler Square, an elementary school in Germantown was also named after him, as well as a street in the Torresdale neighborhood, and a gallery of the University of Pennsylvania Museum.
