What building was the Pennsylvania State House later renamed?

The Pennsylvania State House was later renamed Independence Hall.

The building in Philadelphia served as the meeting place of the Second Continental Congress when it adopted the Declaration of Independence in 1776. It also hosted the Constitutional Convention in 1787, where delegates drafted the United States Constitution.

The structure was completed in 1753 as the Pennsylvania State House. Its present name reflects its association with the Declaration and the founding of the United States, although the building served Pennsylvania’s colonial government before the Revolution.

Independence Hall is part of Independence National Historical Park and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Liberty Bell was displayed nearby and is closely associated with the site, but it is a separate object. Federal Hall in New York City and Congress Hall in Philadelphia are different historic buildings.
