Philadelphia City Hall Clock Tower

The Philadelphia City Hall clock is a special marvel that has a strong presence in Philadelphia, standing 167 meters tall. It was created by chief architect John McArthur and the tower was completed in 1901, after being started in 1871. The plan for the tower was to be the tallest structure in the world but the Eiffel Tower beat the tower to the punch, measuring in at 301 meters; however, the City Hall maintained the title of tallest occupied building until 1908.
