CASE Building Built in 1912 as a restaurant, the CASE Building was a "Public Comfort Station" where park visitors could grab a cold drink or ice cream cone and rest under the columned porch. Inside, the built-in restaurant icebox still survives. Over the years, the building has served a wide variety of purposes from a bomb shelter to a meeting space for seniors, earning it the nickname "Golden Age Building." Its current acronym CASE stands for Cultural Arts, Special Events reflecting its use in the 1980s as a ticket office for the department of recreation. Today, it serves as offices for Fairmount Park staff. Location: West Fairmount Park 4301 Parkside Avenue Philadelphia, PA 19131 |
