Gothic and neoclassical influences dominate the features of City Hall.
Description   
The statue of William Penn that resides atop City Hall's clock tower remains a Philadelphia skyline marker. Until the 1980s there was a "gentleman's agreement" that no Philadelphia building would be built higher than the rim of Penn's hat. City Hall provides a majestic backdrop for shoppers and businesspersons alike as it is situated on the intersection of the city's two main arteries, Broad and Market Streets.
