Early morning implosion drops 16-storey Philly tower.
The Philadelphia Housing Authority’s (PHA) Queen Lane Apartments high-rise tower was imploded early yesterday morning.
The block was located in the city’s Germantown section.
The PHA has imploded 22 buildings at seven sites over the years. The 16-storey high-rise built in the 1950s on West Queen Lane was the eighth site. Eight high-rise sites containing 16 buildings with 1,880 residential units still stand.
