William Penn Atop City Hall Philadelphia Pennsylvania. At 37 feet high and 53523 lbs. William Penn is the largest sculpture on a building in the world. The sculptor Alexander Calder was displeased when Penn was faced in a northeasterly direction to where he signed a treaty with the Indians. Calder wanted an southerly exposure to get the full benefit of the sun. An unwritten law has it that no building shall be taller. Aerial services courtesy Arco Patrol. Photo by Frank Burr.
