dignitaries from around the globe. It has evolved
over time to become one of the most respected
institutions in the country, overwhelmingly

renaissance-styled League House, which occupies
an entire city block in the center of Philadelphia’s
commerce and cultural district, is listed in the
National Register of Historic Places.
