I need a public grandfather clock

Are there any interesting, publicly viewable (and photographable) grandfather clocks in the Philly area?

I need to shoot short (~1min) video of a grandfather clock, and I'm having trouble finding one among the homes of friends and family.

It would be great to be able to go to some public place and shoot the clock with little fuss.

How about one of the antique shops on Pine St?

From what I've heard, Drexel University has one of the more famous and important grandfather clocks in the country: The Rittenhouse Clock. Due to its historical importance---it's beyond priceless---I would definitely chat with the awesome staff at Drexel before brining a camera anywhere near the collection.
