Downtown: PSFS Building

Written by Don Raye and Hughie Price Made famous during WWII by the Andrews Sisters

hortly before the war ended I was concerned that there might not be many jobs around, especially with all the men coming back home. I

left the War Labor Board and took a job with Goldberg and Rosenthal, an accounting firm located in the very beautiful and modern PSFS building. The PSFS building was one of the first international architectural style skyscrapers in Philadelphia. I worked there a year and a half and became an even more proficient typist.
