Changing Skyline: Big, bold building for traditional Chestnut Hill

Chestnut Hill does not do change easily. Several years ago, when a Germantown Avenue toy store dared to paint its old-timey facade in rainbow colors, it seemed like the keening could be heard all the way to Center City. The neighborhood once put a stop to a proposed Exxon gas station by appealing directly to major shareholders living in Chestnut Hill. (Yes, shareholders, plural.) "Development" has always been something that happens to other Philadelphia neighborhoods.
