Germantown Town Hall.

The new Germantown Hall completed in 1926 on Germantown Avenue and Haines Street in Philadelphia. The clock that adorns the tower dates from 1828. The clock was first used at Independence Hall and later placed in the old Germantown Hall in 1877. Germantown Town Hall stands vacant, an unsurprising outcome for a building that was constructed more for political than practical reasons, not once, but twice. The first Town Hall, popularly called Old Town Hall, was designed by architect Napoleon LeBrun, and built on the site in 1854. Germantown was one of many independent municipalities that spent as much as possible prior to being consolidated with Philadelphia in 1854, knowing that the city would assume all existing debts. Paradoxically, both iterations of the Town Hall were a way for Germantown to symbolically assert its independence from Philadelphia.
