Built from 1926 to 1928, The PPL Building, formerly the Pennsylvania Power and Light Building, is a 24-story, 98 m (322 ft) skyscraper in Allentown, Pennsylvania. It is the tallest building in the city, and the second tallest in the Lehigh Valley after Bethlehem’s Martin Tower.

The PPL Building serves as the headquarters for PPL Corporation, the main electric utility for the Lehigh Valley. It is often uniquely illuminated at night, especially during the Christmas season.

Here below is a found photo collection from Thomas Grim that shows the construction process of the PPL Building from 1926 to 1928.
