Philadelphia’s City Hall was destined to be the largest building in the world when it was constructed, but we never quite got there.
City Hall cost $25 million to build in 1901, over $7 billion in today’s economy. And it would have cost just as much to tear it down, which is exactly what the city wanted to do over 50 years ago because they thought it was a eyesore. To me, it’s nothing short of magnificent, rich with history and turmoil, and seedy stories like you’d never believe.
