Wanamaker’s, Historic department store in Center City, Philadelphia, United States.
The thirteen-story Renaissance Revival building at 1300 Market Street features a central atrium, bronze eagle statue, and grand marble columns reaching toward a decorative ceiling.
John Wanamaker established this retail business in 1861, introducing fixed prices and money-back guarantees that transformed American shopping practices in the nineteenth century.
The Grand Court hosts daily concerts performed on the Wanamaker Grand Organ, containing over 28,000 pipes and acknowledged as the largest functioning pipe organ worldwide.
The store maintains regular shopping hours from Monday through Saturday, with multiple floors offering fashion, home goods, and a dining area near the organ concert space.
During winter months, the Grand Court presents a light and music performance featuring colors projected onto the organ pipes while the bronze eagle rotates below.
