Photos: Center City building collapse anniversary

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the deadly Center City collapse at 22nd and Market streets when a building under demolition collapsed onto the neighboring Salvation Army causing its walls to cave in. Six people died in the 2013 tragedy and 14 were left injured.

Family, friends, residents, city workers, Mayor Michael Nutter and more gathered at the site of the collapse this morning to memorialize their loved ones.

A park will be built in memory of the victims at the building collapse site.
