2008 March 19 Philadelphia City Hall


When one thinks of Philadelphia---a few key structures stand out: Liberty Bell, Independence Hall. No one goes to Philly to visit the City Hall, but it is impressive and offers a great view from its tower. A 37 foot tall statue of William Penn stand on top. City Hall was constructed from 1871 to 1901, and its prominence was a bit ostentatioius for a former Quaker colony. Mayor's Room was where Hillary Clinton had been just days earlier as part of the campaign for Pennsylvania primary.
