Summary
[edit]DescriptionCity Hall - Philadelphia (2642138617).jpg | Philadelphia City Hall. Designed by Scottish-born architect John McArthur, Jr., and constructed from 1871 until 1901 at a cost of $24 million. Originally designed to be the world's tallest building, by the time it was completed it had already been surpassed by the Washington Monument and the Eiffel Tower, though it was the world's tallest habitable building at the time of opening, topped by a statue of William Penn. It remained the tallest building in Philadelphia until the construction of One Liberty Place (1984–1987) broke the informal "gentlemen's agreement" that limited the height of tall buildings in the city. This was cited as a reason, the curse of Billy Penn, why Philadelphia Sports teams failed to win any trophies after 1983 - since lifted with the Phillies winning the world series in 2007. is the largest municipal building in the United States |
