Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pa.


Independence Hall is a U.S. national landmark located
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Chestnut Street
between 5th and 6th Streets. Known primarily as the
location where the Declaration of Independence was
debated and adopted, the building was completed in 1753
as the Pennsylvania State House for the Province of
Pennsylvania. It became the principal meeting place of
the Second Continental Congress from 1775 to 1783. The
United States Declaration of Independence and United
States Constitution were both signed at Independence
Hall. The building is now part of the larger
Independence National Historical Park and listed as a
World Heritage Site.

Independence Hall is a red brick building, built
between 1732 and 1753, designed in the Georgian style
by Edmund Woolley and Andrew Hamilton, and built by
Woolley. Its highest point is 41 meters above the
ground. Its building was commissioned by the
Pennsylvania colonial legislature and it was initially
inhabited by the colonial government of Pennsylvania as
their State House. Two smaller buildings adjoin
Independence Hall: Old City Hall to the east, and
Congress Hall to the west. These three buildings are
together on a city block known as Independence Square,
along with Philosophical Hall, the original home of the
American Philosophical Society.
