The Globe Ticket Company Building was completed at 112 North 12th Street in Philadelphia in 1900 as a printing and warehouse facility for the Globe Ticket Company[1], which exclusively printed tickets. The building was liquidated and demolished in 1988 to make way for the convention center.[2]
The Pennsylvania Convention Center now occupies the site and all nearby land. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, and has not been delisted.[3]
The building was also known as the Hering building and featured an inscription to Constantine Hering, a homeopathic physician, in Latin.[4]
