    S. Broad St. (I'm guessing at Walnut or Locust), Philadelphia across the street from the Academy of Music and Kimmel Center. I used to live 3 blocks from there. I see the Bellvue in one of those shots.

    How'd I do?

    I Spy: Boiler room

    The large white tanks look like fuel oil tanks, hard to tell without the color coding that NYC has, usually don't see a temperature guage on #2 oil tanks, wonder if its #4 or higher grade. Other picture looks like large hot water system heat circulation pumps, possibly Federal or B&G, noticed the vertical check valves. Third picture shows a couple of banks of Hydrotherm gas fired cast iron horizontal section boilers used for hot water systems, about 300,000 btuh each, honeywell L4006 high limit aquastats on the front of each module. Draft hoods are showing a little bit of possible condensation. Cannot make out the last picture. Thanks for making me work the mind Q!

    B&G #1510 series pumps -the fiberglass tanks appear to be domestic hot water storage --the bank of hydrotherms have a heat exchanger for hot water --those vertical white tanks are expansion tanks..
