Independence Hall is the historic building associated with the Declaration of Independence commemorated by America250.
The building in Philadelphia was completed in 1753 as the Pennsylvania State House. The Second Continental Congress used it when it debated and adopted the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
The same building later hosted the Constitutional Convention in 1787. That connection makes Independence Hall important to both the Declaration and the creation of the U.S. Constitution, although the two events occurred eleven years apart.
The name “Independence Hall” became common after the American Revolution. It was originally called the Pennsylvania State House, so questions about its revolutionary role can produce two names. The canonical modern name is Independence Hall.
