Downtown Philadelphia's tower farm, more dispersed and less iconic than that of many other great cities of the US. Historically, Philadelphia was a late developer of skyscrapers, with no building allowed to surpass the statue of William Penn atop its city hall until the 1980s. Since then, ten higher skyscrapers have been built, but none have really had a chance to impress themselves on our media consciousness in the way that those in places in New York, Chicago, or San Francisco have, and there are no truly unique and unusual features like one finds in Seattle or Paris.
