The Historical Commission's Architectural Committee will report on its review of the controversial hotel-tower project at 40th & Pine this Friday. I don't know whether they just give a report on the vote to disapprove this project, or whether there's a discussion by the whole commission with provision for public input. Interested parties should contact John Farnham of the Commission's staff to find out. This announcement is presented as a public service. No members of UCHS were harmed in its preparation. Ever at your service, Al Krigman ____________________________________ Agenda 543rd Stated Meeting of the Philadelphia Historical Commission
