What name was given to the Pennsylvania State House after the American Revolution?

The Pennsylvania State House was renamed Independence Hall after the American Revolution.

The building in Philadelphia was completed in 1753 and originally served as the seat of Pennsylvania’s colonial government. The Second Continental Congress met there when it adopted the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

The same building hosted the Constitutional Convention in 1787, where delegates drafted the United States Constitution. Its association with both documents made it a central symbol of the nation’s founding and led to the name Independence Hall.

The name is sometimes confused with the Liberty Bell, which was the State House Bell housed in the building’s steeple. The bell is now displayed across the street in the Liberty Bell Center, while Independence Hall remains part of Independence National Historical Park.
