The story
The Philadelphia Saving Fund Society, founded in 1816 as the first savings bank in the United States, opened this International Style tower in 1932. It was designed by George Howe and William Lescaze and is described by Loews as one of the nation’s first modern skyscrapers. NPS designated it a National Historic Landmark in 1976. Today it is a 581-room Loews hotel (16 suites) with the Bank & Bourbon restaurant and a refreshed 33rd floor with skyline views.
