PHILADELPHIA CITY HALL Drone Video
Built 1871-1901, this $24 million limestone, granite and marble structure is the government center to one of America's greatest cities. This building was the tallest in the world from 1894 to 1908 and is currently the largest municipal building in the United States. Its more than 22-feet thick walls surround the 700-rooms, which house the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the Philadelphia government. The clock on each face of the tower is 26-feet in diameter - that's larger than Big Ben (23 feet)! It's topped by the world's tallest statue on any building at 37-feet tall, and is 53,000 pounds. It's of the city's founder, William Penn. And that's just one of more than 250 statues that adorn the landmark inside and out. In the center of the building is a large, open courtyard called the Centre Square, which has held countless historic speeches and events. This incredible building became a a National Historic Landmark in 1976. You can take a look inside any week day and ride the 6-person elevator to the observation deck below The tower's statue.

Did you have permission from the city of Philadelphia? Sorry if I sounded like a big Gov. guy.

Hey, Mr. Pete! Congrats on your channel being 3/4th to the big time. We gave you a subscribe to help you get there! We did speak with City Hall security before shooting. Totally cool, since we have all our paperwork; but we just weren't allowed to takeoff or land from the property itself. We've found most places are like that!
