Prince Albert's motorcade perhaps?

Everything is post tension after a few hits off the broom flask, am I right?

It's being built with Legos.

Can someone explain what we're seeing here? Is this in anticipation of a concrete fill for part of the core?

What's the red brick building on the left here with the tile roof?

I've always thought of it as our own little version of the Woolworth Building (in NYC).

It would make for incredible residences.

Anyone know what's inside?

That's my favorite building in the city, I believe it was some art institute? Not sure now though

isThatAHippo · #**1877** Posted **Nov 3, 2016, 7:25 PM**

It's called The American Baptist Publication Society building; currently home to a charter school.

That looks like it's by Frank Furness. Do you happen to know if it is?

isThatAHippo · #**1879** Posted **Nov 4, 2016, 1:22 AM**

Looks like it was designed by Frank Miles Day, another Philadelphia born architect active around the same time as Furness. Seems like he mostly designed buildings for academic institutions like UPenn (including the Penn Museum and the previous Franklin Field), Penn State, Princeton, and Univ. of Delaware.
