Philadelphia's City Hall is located on Penn Square, where Market Street would intersect with Broad Street (Pennsylvania Route 611). It has been named a landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

"City Hall is the nation's most elaborate seat of municipal government," reads a plaque commemorating the honor. "It is the finest American example of the French Second Empire style, widely used in late-19th-century public buildings."

The mayor's office rests on the second floor of the building. Other amenities include a gift shop, Broad Street (Orange) subway line station directly underneath the building, and a clock tower topped with a statue of Pennsylvania founder William Penn.
