Spring 1963 photo of the steelwork of the new Allentown City Hall and the foundation for the new Lehigh County Courthouse under construction. During 1961 and 1962, the neighborhoods east of Fifth Street to the Jordan Creek on both sides of Hamilton were acquired by Eminent Domain and torn down for this redevelopment project. Along with the new government buildings, the Allentown Motor Inn was constructed on the southwest corner of Fourth and Hamilton. Construction was completed by the end of 1964.
