Construction continues on the Marriott Hotel/Lancaster Convention Center. Some of the big cranes now in place make a spectacular scene as they start their high-rise work!
With a projected opening in the fall of 2008, the Convention Center is one of several projects designed to revitalize the City of Lancaster.
The lobby of the hotel will incorporate the facade of the former Watt & Shand department store on Penn Square, which was once on the National Register of Historic Places.
When it is completed, the tower will be one of Lancaster's tallest buildings.
Peeking over the parking garage in the background, you can see the spire of the 1766 Trinity Church. The boarded up building to the right will be restored as a historical site.
