Smith Memorial commemorates Pennsylvania’s military heroes of the American Civil War. The stone seating areas at the Smith Memorial are known as the Whispering Benches, because a whisper into the curved wall at one end can be heard at the other end.

I grew up down the street from there and always got a kick out of the "whispering" feature

Great iconic hidden spot in Philly. Love introducing people to the whisper benches.

There is a whispering wall where you can hear people talk at other end.
