Philadelphia, PA Society Hill Towers - light fixture

In 1957, Edmund Bacon, the executive director of the Philadelphia City Planning Commission, awarded developer-architect firm Webb and Knapp the competition for the redevelopment of Society Hill. Architect I. M. Pei and his team designed a plan for three 31-story Society Hill Towers and 37 townhouses. The Towers and townhouses project was completed in 1964, while the entire plan was completed in 1977.
