"The City Hall and Courthouse Annex, 5th St., between Market and Arch Sts., is a light gray granite structure of modified Grecian design, the work of Edwards and Green, Camden architects. Twenty-two stories high, it is the tallest building in Camden. From the main building of five stories rises a 17-story tower, narrowing at the top into open work resembling the neck of a bottle. On the tower is a huge new clock in place of those that have ornamented Camden's city halls since 1876. The building houses county and city offices, making it often half Republican and half Democratic." --- New Jersey, a Guide to Its Present and Past, 1939; page 230-231
This building is so enormous and parking is so sucky about the City Hall during the afternoon, two blocks away is the best spot to take the best picture, which is what I was forced to do.
