William Penn


William Penn

This statue of William Penn sits on top of City Hall. For many years it was against the law to construct a building taller than the feather on William Penn's hat. That law was revoked in the late 70s/early 80s. Because of this, Philadelphia is a much "flatter" city than cities like New York, Chicago, Boston, etc.
