wearevanity:Portrait of City | Philadelphia.Liked Philly’s skyline when it was distinctive as no building was permitted to be taller than the top of the statue of Ben Franklin atop City Hall (building in the center). The PSFS building in the left distance was for many years one of the tallest buildings in the city, a distinguished piece of international style modern architecture, its height limited. The bland, nondescript corporate towers built in the past couple of decades have rendered Philly’s current skyline about as distinctive as Omaha’s. -- source link
