The iconic Wanamaker Building in Philadelphia’s Center City is saying goodbye to its beloved Macy’s store, but the historic organ will remain. Hundreds of people gathered on Saturday for the final weekend of operation, listening to the famous organ perform hourly recitals one last time. The event was emotionally charged, with many sharing their favorite memories of coming to the Wanamaker Building.
The Wanamaker organ, a global icon, played its final note after the weekend’s events. However, fans were reassured that the organ will stay inside the building, thanks to TF Cornerstone, the landlord, who confirmed their commitment to preserving the instrument.
Macy’s will reopen on Sunday, but for now, the historic organ is at peace, having provided a soundtrack to many memories in Philadelphia’s iconic Wanamaker Building.
