PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Inside Philadelphia's historic Bourse building, what's old is new again.
"So in 1895, the Bourse was built as the first commodities exchange in the U.S. So people would come here to exchange grain to exchange whatever they were buying and selling. So our concept with this entire food hall was to effectively do the same thing in a modern day setting," said Charley McGrath, the developer behind the re-design of Bourse building.
"If there's one thing that you want people to walk in here and see, what is it?" asked CBS3's Jessica Kartalija.
"Look straight up. I would love for everyone to walk in here to see all the architectural detail," McGrath said.
