Union League [Contest Finalists May 2010]

This building on South Broad Street in Philadelphia keeps "calling" me back. It appears to have the same draw for Mike Clime and Peter Appelbaum.
---
The wonderful history of this building, dating back to 1862, can be found in the description of the image called "Portico" in my gallery--or by Googling. "Portico" was shot from the landing at the top of the twin staircases.
