The Philadelphia and Reading Rail Road Company
was one of the first railroad companies in the United States. Established In
1833 it operated its first trains from the Pennsylvania coals mines to the
shores along the city of Philadelphia. By 1871 it had become the largest
company in the world with annual sales of $170 million. Many today know of the
company as the Reading Railroad, made famous through the popular board game
Monopoly.
In 1889 the company decided to construct a train
depot, passenger station and company headquarters. The
train station attached to this building was the largest single-span structure
in the world when it was completed and it was the last surviving single-span
arched train shed in the United States.
Today, the train station is a part of the
Pennsylvania Convention Center. The building known as the Headhouse served as
the company offices until the last train rolled out to much fanfare on November
6, 1984. On June 30, 1972 the Headhouse joined many famous Philadelphia
landmarks on the National Register of Historic Properties.
The Philadelphia Marriott Downtown opened its Main Tower in 1995, and
then took over the vacated Headhouse from the Philadelphia Redevelopment
Authority. In 1999 the Headhouse Tower came back to life as an extension of the
Marriott, offering 208 guest rooms, two elegant ballrooms and the original
historic exterior facade.
