Historic Rittenhouse Square Funeral Home to Be Demolished

A former funeral home, which also has the distinction of being the last vacant lot on Rittenhouse Square, is going to be demolished to make room for a new luxury skyscraper. “Old building gets plowed for tony condos” is not necessarily a compelling story in Center City, however. What makes this story interesting is that the funeral home is on […]
