I should clarify that I'm not talking about Allentown's current City Hall, some people think that it already has been bought and sold. I'm talking about the canopy over the main entrance on Linden Street, and the CITY HALL sign, shown in the photograph above. Stored all this time, these Allentown artifacts are now available for the first time in over half a century. Send serious inquires as a confidential comment to this post.
Thats gotta be the ugliest city hall building of any city in this country. No wonder it was torn down. Was that built as a city Hall or did the then mayor and his staff move in to a converted button factory to insure no tax increase.
That sign looks about the right size to fit on the front of one of the new Center City Investment buildings downtown.

That would be a cool name for a restaurant. Can I get free rent, buildout, and tax revenue to pay for my costs too?

Allentown City Hall never stopped being for sale
