Where in Philly did Penn sign the Peace Treaty?

In the year 1683, William Penn entered into a peace treaty with the chief of the Lenape Turtle Clan named Tamanend on what is now preserved as Penn Treaty Park located on the Delaware (Columbus Bvld) and Beach Street. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penn_Treaty_Park .

On a side note, there was a homeless man at the park who wanted me to take a picture of him. I am not a big fan of "street photography" due to the repect for people's privacy but now I wish I would have because it was clear that he had given consent.
