Independence Hall, birthplace of our nation, was the original home of the famed Liberty Bell and hosted the signing of both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. Constructed between 1732 and 1756, it is one of the most notable examples of early American Georgian architecture and is the second most recognizable building in the United States. At various times in history, the three building complex served as the United States Capitol under President George Washington, the “State House” (Capitol) of Pennsylvania, and Philadelphia City Hall.
