The city hall is a 170m tower a few blocks from this location. Chestnut St. lost many of the grand old buildings but a few survived.

Excellent thread, I think I opened a similar one some time ago, they could be merged if it's still around somewhere.

Interesting, if memory serves me right, the building next to Betry Ross' House isn't there anymore.

edit:

Yep, and the door is on the wrong side! I assume that the facade was restored to its 18th century appearance.
