Where did the First Continental Congress meet in 1774?

The First Continental Congress met at Carpenters' Hall in Philadelphia in 1774.

Delegates from 12 of the 13 British North American colonies gathered there from September 5 to October 26. Georgia was the only colony that did not send representatives. The meeting was called in response to Britain's Intolerable Acts, imposed after the Boston Tea Party.

Carpenters' Hall was completed in 1775 for the Carpenters' Company of the City and County of Philadelphia. It was a private guild hall, not the building now commonly associated with the Continental Congress. The Second Continental Congress later met in the Pennsylvania State House, now called Independence Hall.

The First Continental Congress adopted the Continental Association, which organized a boycott of British goods, and petitioned King George III. Its failure to secure a settlement helped lead to the Second Continental Congress and the American Revolutionary War.
