The most striking landmark in Philadelphia should be the Philadelphia City Hall, designed by a famous architect and costing $24 million over 30 years (completed in 1901), a considerable sum at the time. The town hall is located in the downtown area, the whole building is quadrangle, 167 meters high, with nearly 700 rooms. The main body is made of granite, topped by the giant bronze statue of the father of Philadelphia, more than 11 meters high, weighs 27 tons, facing the northeast, overlooking the city's famous Penn Treaty Park. The most striking of the building is the giant bronze statue of the father of Philadelphia, and the exterior of the building has more than 250 reliefs. From a distance, the entire town hall is like a huge square seal, the handle of the bronze seal... The Philadelphia City Hall, which is also known as the Philadelphia City Hall, is the largest, tallest, and most expensive of all the city halls in the United States. Between 1901 and 1908 it was the tallest habitable building in the world. The architect of the building was John MacArthur Jr., an ambitious construction project that made it the tallest building in the world at the time, but it took a very long time to build, and the whole construction lasted 30 years until it was completed in 1901. But its appearance did eclipse the Washington Monument and the Eiffel Tower, which remains one of the tallest and largest masonry structures in the world today. The central tower of the building is 548 feet tall, and a sculpture of William Ben (William Penn) is erected at the top. The sculpture is also a behemoth, 37 feet tall and weighing 27 tons, and is just one of the 250 sculptures created inside and outside the building by Alexander Calder. The entire town hall has more than 600 rooms and is arranged around a central courtyard, many of which have extremely luxurious decorations, including reception rooms with blue and gold ceilings and red marble columns, and a conference hall with a gorgeous branch-shaped decorative lamp. At this time, the City Hall Square is the annual Christmas market. Everyone comes to choose their favorite New Year gifts and go shopping. Come to the White Dog Restaurant for brunch at noon. This restaurant is very characteristic, friends who come to Philadelphia can come here to punch a card.
