Logan Square is a vibrant mix of historic buildings, swanky high-rises and museums sharing verdant parkland. Designed by Philly-born sculptor Alexander Calder, the bronze figures of the park's Swann Memorial Fountain symbolize the city’s waterways. Popular attractions for both local families and out-of-state visitors include the Barnes Foundation and the iconic LOVE sculpture, a popular spot for tourist selfies. ― Google


Logan Square is a neighborhood in Philadelphia. Bounded by Market Street on the south, Spring Garden Street on the north, Broad Street on the east, and the Schuylkill River on the west, it occupies the northwest quadrant of Center City. The square for which it is named is one of the five "squares", or parks, central to William Penn's design for Philadelphia. Originally called Northwest Square, it was renamed in honor of James Logan, an eighteenth-century mayor of Philadelphia.

Located here are a number of sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Arch Street Presbyterian Church, the Bell Telephone Company Building, the Board of Education Building, the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, the Harris Building, the Insurance Company of North America Building, the Larkin–Belber Building, Logan Square, the Francis McIlvain House, St. Clement's Protestant Episcopal Church, the Inquirer Building, and the Wesley Building.[1] Other notable sites are the Academy of Natural Sciences, the Barnes Foundation, the Franklin Institute, the Moore College of Art and Design, the Parkway Central Library, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, the Philadelphia Pennsylvania (Mormon) Temple, and the main campus of the Community College of Philadelphia.

Penn Center, Franklintown and much of Philadelphia's central business district are located in Logan Square.
