Description
City Hall is the largest all-masonry, load-bearing structure without a steel frame in the world–only the Mole Antonelliana in Italy is taller! Completed in 1901 after 30 long years of construction, City Hall remained the tallest building in Philadelphia until One Liberty Place was finished in March 1987. Legend has it that the ghost of William Penn (whose statue hovers over the city atop City Hall) was not happy and put a curse on the city’s professional sports teams due to his anger over being superseded by One Liberty, explaining Philly’s long-running inability to win championships. The curse apparently ended in Oct. 29, 2008, however, when the Phillies won the World Series, just four months after Penn’s statue was erected on today’s tallest building in Philadelphia, the Comcast Center. The mystery lives on!
