PHILADELPHIA'S WILLIAM PENN STATUE and THOSE GUYS

A historical landmark in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Located in: Philadelphia City Hall Address: 1401 John F Kennedy Blvd, Philadelphia, PA 19102 The statue of William Penn atop Philadelphia's City Hall is one of 250 sculptures — and the biggest — created by Alexander Milne Calder to adorn the French Empire-style building inside and out. Cast at the Tacony Iron Works, the hollow, 26.5-ton bronze sculpture, assembled from 13 parts, is also reputed to be the tallest to stand atop any building in the world. Calder, the Scottish-born father of sculptor Alexander Stirling Calder and grandfather of sculptor Alexander Calder, wanted the 37-foot-tall statue to face south so that it would be lit by the sun during most of the day. So how did it end up facing to the northeast when it was placed on its perch in 1894? A question submitted via Curious Philly, a forum where readers can tell our journalists what they're wondering about their communities, asked where Penn was looking and why. One answer can be found in the Nov. 29, 1894, edition of the Philadelphia Inquirer, in a story reporting on the installation of its head by workers who each received "$10 in gold" upon completion of the work 547 feet above the ground.
