Fodor's Review:
The former John Wanamaker department store, this building is almost as prominent a Philadelphia landmark as the Liberty Bell. Wanamaker began with a clothing store in 1861 and became one of America's most innovative and prominent retailers. The massive building, which occupies a city block with grace, was designed by the noted Chicago firm of D. H. Burnham and Company. Its focal point is a 2,500-pound statue of an eagle, a remnant of the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis. "Meet me at the Eagle" remains a popular way for Philadelphians to arrange a rendezvous. The store's 30,000-pipe organ -- the largest ever built -- is used for free concerts Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at noon and 5:30 and Wednesday and Friday at noon and 7.
- Open: Mon.-Sat. 10-8, Sun. 11-7
