Look no City Hall - Centre Square Days Broad St. from the Academy of Music. Date [ca. 1863] Description View looking north on South Broad Street from the Academy of Music showing two horse-drawn vehicles in the foreground and buildings adjacent to the main thoroughfare, including the second building of the Academy of Natural Sciences (built 1839-1840, John Notman, architect) and La Pierre House Hotel (built 1853, John McArthur, architect) in the distant left background. Row homes are visible on the east side of the street in the foreground and a four story building with gothic-arch windows on the west side, possibly the future site of the Stratford Hotel. Construction of the Union League and City Hall has not yet begun.-LCP
