Philadelphia: Broad and Walnut Streets, Looking North to City Hall (b/w photo)

Broad and Walnut Streets, Looking North to City Hall. The building at the left is the Manufacturers' Club. The City Hall is at Broad and Market Streets, where all routes in this book start and terminate. Home of the city and county offices and of all the county courts, the City Hall is the largest single building in the world, containing 750 rooms. It accommodates, however, only a part of the 20,997 municipal employees under Mayor W Freeland Kendrick and City Council.
