THE EAGLE, The Grand Court, John Wanamaker, Philadelphia
Back:
THE EAGLE-Located in the center of the Grand
Court in the John Wanamaker Main Store, has
been the meeting place of thousands of Philadel-
phians since it was brought to the store from the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis in 1904.
All the parts the heavy plates that form the inner
structure, the features and other surface parts were
made separately. Each individual feather was made
by hand. This imposing monument has become a
landmark in Philadelphia and "Meet me at the
Eagle" has become a byword with its citizens.
