The Penn Alto building is a landmark building located in downtown Altoona, Pennsylvania. The building is nine stories high and has a partial tenth floor penthouse. The name of the building remains the same, even though its usage has changed over time. The name changed from the Penn Alto Hotel to Penn Alto Apartments when it changed from strictly being a hotel to a residential hotel, which rents both apartments and hotel rooms. The current name is City Hall Commons, derriving its name from its proximity to City Hall, which is just across the street from it. The building was constructed in 1921 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
