The south view of the Philly skyline kinda sucks. The view from Camden is killer. From the banks from the Schuylkill, you can even get the Cira Center in the skyline view. The views from the North and South aren't that great, but the skyline still looks decent driving down I-95 into Center City. From the South, though? Yuck. The buildings look too far apart, Symphony House is the closest skyscraper and the PSFS Building looks like a black brick wall. Now the Loews Philadelphia Hotel, the PSFS Building is a gem of our city's skyline. The first U.S. skyscraper in the International style is probably the city's most acclaimed building. Unlike some of the other pieces of great architecture—say, Louis Kahn's Richards Medical Research Laboratories—this one isn't beloved by architecture nerds and hated by everyone else. The neon PSFS sign, a relic of a bank that no longer exists, is still an integral part of the skyline. People lost their minds when it was turned off for a few months in 1991. The south side of the building, though, is a wall of black brick. Windows only flank it. Could the black wall be a blank canvas?
