Pennsylvania Governor's Residence

The Pennsylvania Governor's Residence is the official residence of the governor of Pennsylvania, located in the Uptown neighborhood of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Description and usage The neo-Georgian residence was built from 1966 to 1968 and designed by George M. Ewing, heading an architectural firm in Philadelphia. The mansion was only used for official functions and meetings during Governor Tom Wolf's administration because he commuted from his private residence in nearby Mount Wolf. Incumbent Governor Josh Shapiro and his family have resided in the Governor's Residence since 2023. The Pennsylvania Governor’s Residence is a 29,000-square-foot (2,700 m2) home. The seven-bay brick front has a wide projecting pedimented central bay, in which a Palladian window perches on a pedimented doorway. The mansion is home to two Steinway grand pianos used for concerts and to entertain dinner guests. Every holiday season, the house is open for special tours. The mansion is adjacent to the Susquehanna River, and flooding has proven to be a significant hazard. Water intrusion in the basement area is a frequent issue, and the mansion has been evacuated three times since its construction due to serious inundation. The first and most serious time was during Hurricane Agnes in 1972; then-governor Milton Shapp and his wife, Muriel, evacuated for the weekend and returned by boat to inspect the flooded damage, shown in a common photograph at the time. The most recent was 2011 during Tropical Storm Lee. In 2021, following years of planning, a $1.9 million renovation began on the courtyard to restore more greenspace, amenities, and accessibility. 2025 arson attack At approximately 2:00 a.m. on April 13, 2025, an arsonist set fire to the residence. Governor Josh Shapiro and his family were safely evacuated, however, the southern portion of the residence sustained significant damage. Later that day, Cody Allen Balmer, a 38-year-old former mechanic from nearby Penbrook, Pennsylvania, turned himself in and was charged with terrorism, attempted murder, aggravated arson, and aggravated assault. Balmer reported that he "harbor[ed] hatred" towards the governor and was planning to physically assault Governor Shapiro using a small sledgehammer had he encountered him. Following Balmer's arrest, his mother Christie Balmer told CBS News that her son has schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and claimed that he "went off his medication." The attack occurred on the first night of Passover, around 2 am, just hours after Shapiro and his family had partaken in a Passover Seder. Balmer told police that he used two Molotov cocktails to set the residence on fire. References External links Governor's Residence website The Governors Residence

PPL Building

The PPL Building, formerly the Pennsylvania Power and Light Building, is a 24-story office building in Allentown, Pennsylvania. At 321.6 ft (98.0 m) in height, it is the tallest building in the city and the surrounding Lehigh Valley metropolitan area. The building is the headquarters for PPL Corporation, the main electricity provider for the Lehigh Valley, Northeastern Pennsylvania, and other regions of Pennsylvania and the United States. The PPL Building is often uniquely illuminated at night, especially during the Christmas season, with a candle on one face of the building, and a Christmas tree on the other. History The PPL Building was built between 1926 and 1928 by Pennsylvania Power & Light, forerunner of PPL, and to this day has been the headquarters of the company. The building was designed by architect and skyscraper pioneer Harvey Wiley Corbett, who would later have a hand in designing New York City's Rockefeller Center and other prominent buildings. The building exterior features bas reliefs by Alexander Archipenko. In 1930, the PPL Building was named the "best example of a modern office building" by Encyclopædia Britannica, and also featured the world's fastest elevator. During the 1960s, PPL supported the local United Fund community fund drive program by using the building's brightly lit windows at night to spell out the abbreviation "U.F." to remind area residents to contribute to the fund drive. In June of 2023, PPL Corporation announced plans to vacate the building and put it up for sale. In early 2024, the building was sold for $9 million to a Luzerne County, Pennsylvania-based realtor, which plans to convert it into commercial spaces, apartments, and other amenities. In popular culture Exterior shots of the PPL Building appear in Executive Suite, a 1954 film. References
Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire

The Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire is a Renaissance fair occurring over 13 weekends from early-August through late-October on the grounds of the Mount Hope Estate and Winery in Manheim, Pennsylvania. In 1980, the Estate was sold and converted to a winery. History In 1980, a two-day jousting festival called the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire was held in the winery parking lot to attract visitors. The event proved popular and expanded in the following years. In 2009, the Faire was held on a 35-acre (140,000 m2) site with 90 shows performed daily on 12 stages, hundreds of costumed characters, and a recreation of a 16th-century English village with authentic Tudor buildings. Musical performances, Shakespearean plays, and other acts were offered, twenty-three "Royal Kitchens" served food and drink, and Renaissance merchants were on-site. The Swashbuckler Brewing Company was founded on the grounds in 2000, and its product is available at the Swashbuckler Brew Pub. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 40th season was shortened to nine weeks from Labor Day weekend to November 1, when similar events were cancelled; however, the 41st season returned to the normal 13-weekend season at full capacity. Praise The Faire's music and storytelling have been praised by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the Little Buffalo Performance Center, and, in 1998, the Faire was named one of the top 100 motorcoach-accessible events in America by the American Bus Association. Business As a privately owned business, the faire is not required to report revenues to the public. In a 1998 interview, the former owner, Chuck Romito, revealed that "Gross sales for wine purchases and tickets for shows at the Mount Hope Estates--including Christmas, Halloween, Roaring '20s and other theme performances--hover around $4 million," while the fair's expenses were about $2 million. As of 2008, American Renaissance festivals were much larger in scale than their European counterparts. Consuming History specifically mentions the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire for its high attendance, along with the Maryland Renaissance Faire, which draws 225,000 visitors over three weeks, and the Bristol Renaissance Faire, which reached a peak in 1990 with 400,000 visitors across seven weekends.

Philadelphia's Magic Gardens

Philadelphia's Magic Gardens is a non-profit organization, folk art environment, and gallery space on South Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is the largest work created by mosaic artist Isaiah Zagar. The Magic Gardens spans three city lots, and includes indoor galleries and a large outdoor labyrinth. The mosaics are made up of everything from kitchen tiles and mirror shards to bike wheels, Latin-American art, and china plates. The space is open for public view, from 11:00-6:00 Wednesday through Monday and closed on Tuesdays. History Isaiah and his wife Julia moved to South Street in 1968, when the area was being slated for demolition by the city in order to create the Crosstown Expressway (I-695), which would have linked I-76 and I-95. Due to this proposed construction, the area was desolate and dangerous. The Zagars were some of the first people to come to this area and begin to turn its image around. They opened the Eye’s Gallery at 402 South Street, which was the first property that Isaiah would mosaic. The gallery still showcases and sells the art of Latin-American artists. After the Eyes Gallery, the Zagars went on to purchase and rent out several other buildings, and Isaiah would go on to create several other mosaicked spaces and public murals. He bought the building that currently houses Philadelphia's Magic Gardens in 1994. He fenced off the two vacant lots next door in order to keep out garbage and vermin, and over the next fourteen years began creating the Magic Gardens. In 2002, the landowner of the two vacant lots wanted to sell the land due to rising property values on South Street. Together with members of the community, Isaiah was able to purchase the lots. With this purchase, "Philadelphia's Magic Gardens" was born, and in 2008 it opened to the public, dedicated to inspiring creativity and community engagement. Much of the work in the garden was influenced by and includes objects from Zagar's international travels, including but not limited to Latin America, India, Morocco, Iran, China, and Indonesia. Specific art exhibits around the world, such as The Ideal Palace, in France, Watts Towers in Los Angeles, The Rock Garden in India, and Las Pozas in Mexico, were also heavy influences that one sees in the Garden. Present day Philadelphia's Magic Gardens is a total of 3,000 square feet (280 m2) of mosaicked space. The interior gallery space hosts artists from all over the world and exhibits artwork that has ties to the organization's mission in some way - whether ceramics, mosaics, or "outsider" art. Philadelphia's Magic Gardens also has educational programming, performances, tours, and mosaic workshops, all of which are open to the public. Zagar continues to create mosaic murals on the streets of Philadelphia, hundreds of which can be seen in or around the South Street area.

Philadelphia Bourse

The Philadelphia Bourse was a commodities exchange founded in 1891 by George E. Bartol, a grain and commodities exporter, who modeled it after the Bourse in Hamburg, Germany. The steel-framed building—one of the first to be constructed—was built from 1893 to 1895 and was designed by G. W. & W. D. Hewitt in the Beaux‑Arts style. Carlisle redstone, Pompeian buff brick and terra cotta were all used in the facade. The building was sold in 1979 to Kaiserman Company and underwent extensive renovations, bringing the internal usable surface to approximately 286,000 square feet (26,000 m²). In 2016, MRP Realty took ownership and invested US$40 million in renovations. In mid‑2024, MRP Realty sold the Bourse to a joint venture of Keystone Property Group and Lubert‑Adler Real Estate Funds, which plans a mixed‑use redevelopment of the landmark. The building now houses office space anchored by Digitas, a subsidiary of Publicis Groupe. History Upon his return from a European trip in 1890, Bartol organized the Philadelphia business community. He asked each new member to pledge $1,000 to the project. The Bourse motto was "Buy, Sell, Ship via Philadelphia." The Bourse stopped functioning as a commodities exchange in the 1960s. The structure continued to serve as an office building until 1979, when it was sold and renovated to include upscale retail space on floors near the street level. The upper levels of the building continued to house office space. A movie theatre specializing in independent films, The Ritz at the Bourse, sits across the street at 4th and Ranstead streets. In 2018, a two‑year rehabilitation created a brand‑new food hall with 30 vendors. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today After a two-year rehabilitation, The Bourse reopened as a modern food hall with 30 vendors in November 2018. However, the COVID‑19 pandemic severely impacted these businesses and as of June 2024 all the restaurants are closed and abandoned. A joint venture led by Keystone Property Group and Lubert‑Adler Real Estate Funds acquired the building in mid‑2024 and announced plans to redevelop the historic property into a mixed‑use complex featuring a Hilton Tapestry Collection hotel, office space anchored by Digitas (a subsidiary of Publicis Groupe) and retail and dining concepts operated by Cook N’ Solo. Financing for the redevelopment is being provided by KKR, and construction is expected to be complete by 2027.
