The oldest insurance company
in the world at the time built the Land Title and Trust building in 1897. The
Chicago architectural firm D. H. Burnham and Company was the first non-Philadelphian
to build a major building in the city. The classical styled building incorporated
a simple steel frame. The speculatively built office space included marble and
wooden floors. In 1964 Vincent King and Associates made ground floor, third
through sixth, and twelfth alterations.
In 1917 the Land Title and Trust Company owned this 100 x 89 stone and iron
terracotta 15 floor building valued at 2,300,000. This proved to be extremely
high end quality office use real estate.( http://www.philadelphiabuildings.org,
