Howe and Lescaze finished the PSFS tower in 1932, the first International Style skyscraper in the country, and the rooftop letters have been lit since opening day. The early air-conditioning was famous enough that people called it weather in a box. Loews opened 581 rooms here in 2000, in a National Historic Landmark that Philadelphia's AIA, in 1969, called the city's most important building of the previous century.
