This round, leaded glass window is from the Mask and Wig Club of the University of Pennsylvania, tucked away on tiny Quince Street just north of where it intersects Pine. The building, an old stable, was remodeled by Philadelphia architect Wilson Eyre. Founded in 1889, the Mask and Wig Club is the oldest all-male collegiate musical comedy troupe in the United States. Philadelphia is a city that's full of “firsts” and “oldests.”
