The Penn Alto Building is an historic landmark building that is located in downtown Altoona, Pennsylvania, United States. It is nine stories high and has a partial tenth floor penthouse. The name of the building remains the same, even though its usage has altered 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, deriving its name from its proximity to City Hall, which is just across the street.
