Don't mean to be pedantic, and this is a beautiful shot, but the current Wanamaker building was actually built around 1910. The original building, the "Grand Depot," was built in 1876. John Wanamaker replaced that original building piece-by-piece on the same site in the first decade of the 1900s. My source is a combination of Wikipedia and the fact that I've been to the roof - there is a cornerstone up there inlaid with John Wanamaker's name and the year the building was completed.
