Located on the ninth floor of the building is The Crystal Tea Room, where the wedding we attended was held.
The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission sign erected outside of the building says:
John Wanamaker (1838-1922)
Philadephia merchant, famed for the department stores bearing his name. In 1861, he opened his first store. He built his "new kind of store" here in 1876 and implemented new concepts including the one-price system and the money-back guarantee. Active in public life, he built schools, churches, and missions in this and other nations. As United States Postmaster General, 1889-1893, he fostered rural free delivery and introduced the commemorative stamp.
