What was the name of the hall where the First Continental Congress met in Philadelphia?

The First Continental Congress met at Carpenters’ Hall in Philadelphia.

The delegates gathered there from September 5 through October 26, 1774, to coordinate a response to Britain’s punitive policies toward the colonies. Carpenters’ Hall was the meeting place of the Carpenters’ Company of the City and County of Philadelphia, and its relatively private setting suited a politically sensitive assembly.

The congress included 56 delegates from 12 colonies. Georgia did not participate, making the gathering representative but not fully continental in the later sense. The delegates adopted the Continental Association, which organized a boycott of British goods, and sent a petition to King George III.

A common mix-up is Independence Hall, formerly the Pennsylvania State House. The Second Continental Congress met there beginning in 1775, and Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence there in 1776. The first congress instead met at Carpenters’ Hall.
