Guard Boxes
From the 1870s through the 1970s, the elite Fairmount Park Guard patrolled the entire park system and became
a legendary part of Philadelphia's civic life. Guard Boxes, used as patrol stations by the Guard, survive throughout
the Park as a reminder of the Guard's importance in Park history. A large-scale preservation campaign is urgently
needed to protect the Guard Boxes from destruction and to find a new use for these wonderful Park icons.
