  For every $ 1 < p < \infty $ an isomorphically polyhedral Banach space $E_p$
is constructed having an unconditional basis and admitting a quotient
isomorphic to $\ell_p$. It is also shown that $E_p$ is not isomorphic to a
subspace of a $C(K)$ space for every countable and compact metric space $K$.
