One South Broad, formerly known as the Lincoln-Liberty Building and the PNB Building, is a high-rise building located in the Center City region of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The building stands at 472 feet (144 meters) with 28 floors, and was completed in 1932. It is currently the 16th-tallest building in Philadelphia. The architect of the building was John Torrey Windrim. One South Broad served as the headquarters of the Philadelphia National Bank for several decades, and the distinctive PNB lettering is still located on the building's crown. The building is currently the tallest office building in Philadelphia located east of Broad Street. One South Broad is also the loaction of the Founder's Bell, the world's largest ringing bell. The bell can be heard from a distance of up to 25 miles.[1]
The ground floor may have originally been the flagship Wanamaker's department store which is now a Macy's. The store, now on Market Street, also houses "The Eagle" and the Wanamaker Organ, the largest working pipe organ in the world with 30,000 working pipes.
