Philadelphia City Hall

Description
When it was completed in 1881, Philadelphia City Hall was the largest public building in the United States. McArthur enlisted the help of his friend, former Architect of the Capitol Thomas U. Walter, to serve as his second in command. The building's Second Empire style was also called the General Grant style because it was used in so many public buildings during the Grant administration. Model created by Matt Brown with help from Lars Zimmerman.
