Comcast Center Reaches the End of the (Vertical) Line

070619-1.jpg

070619-2.jpg Yesterday, a few vertical beams brought our concrete, steel, and glass behemoth to 975 ft. Congratulations, Philadephia. You've got a new tallest building, an honor enjoyed by One Liberty Place for nineteen years.

Inquirer photographer Sara J. Glover had the topping-out festivities covered, while Barbara L. Johnston showed the ironworkers doing their thing high above the streets.
