Industrialism took hold along the river since the industrial revolution, many factories and mill still remain on the site today. The SRDC (Schuylkill River DevelopmentCorporation) have been trying to open up the banks to attract more people, as well as redeveloping the industrial sites into greener industrial buildings and corp offices.
Seeing our beautiful city from this side of the river
This red building used to be a movie theater, and it was one of the first theaters in the country to have African American audience during the civil rights movement.
The iron work building here is designed by an Architect named Phillip Johnson (NOT the same Phillip Johnson we all know and love but still a pretty successful local Architect)
