18S E 486000 N 4422692
I believe these are the largest dominos..ever! They are scattered around a plaza found in front of the municipal Services Building at the west side of Broad between Arch and JFK. The are tall enough that if you jumped off one, you'd break a leg.

These dominos are huge (about 20 feet tall) and a very fun and whimsical sculpture. They are directly across from city hall and are always a tourist and local favorite. When I visited, the place was mobbed with "photographers" and children running about the plaza. When I give directions I always use this or the giant clothespin as a guiding landmark. By the way, take my coordinates, input them into Google Earth and zoom in. You can easily make out all four dominos as well as the individual dots on some of them.
The artists who made this are Daniel Martinez, Renee Petropoulis, Roger White and the dominos were placed in 1996.
