Wanamaker Has A Very Large Organ

This is the Grand Court in the Macy's department store in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  The one with the eagle.

This used to be John Wanamaker's flagship store; founded in 1861, it was one of the first department stores in the United States. 

The Wanamaker Grand Court Organ is the largest fully functioning pipe organ in the world, based on the number of playing pipes, the number of ranks, and its weight.
