Notes:

Frank Furness : the complete works (Thomas, Lewis & Cohen, 1990) p.333 indicates that there were two properties on 15th St. owned by the Commerical Trust Co., connected across Market St. by a pedestrian bridge. The new Arcade Building, built by Furness, Evans & Co. in 1900-1901, sat between Market to the North, Penn Sq. to the South, 15th St. to the West, and Broad St. to the East. City Hall's west flank faced the Arcade building across Broad St.
