The Greek Room - original board room in the John Wanamaker Building. They use it for overstock during the holidays, and I sneak in every year to have a look at the historic room.
is housed in the Wanamaker Building (built by John Wanamaker) in Philadelphia. He owned a department store on this site and demolished it to build the Wanamaker Building in the early 1900s for religious crusaders along with 9 stories of retail space. The organ is the largest operational organ in the world and is still played almost daily and more often during the Christmas season. Macy's now occupies the 1st 3 stories of the building. The Wanamaker Building is a National Historic site. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanamaker_Organ

From where I was standing I couldn't quite get it all into one shot, hence the left and right side shots. In 1938 it was converted to apartments, rehabilitated in 1973, and in 1978 gutted by fire, at which time the interior was entirely rebuilt and the Wanamaker Apartment building built behind it.
Do you hear that, Macy's? John Wanamaker himself will come and haunt you if you F up his awesome store.
