Indy Hall is a coworking community with an international online membership and a communal space based in the Northern Liberties neighborhood of Philadelphia.[1][2] It was originally founded in late 2006, in the Old City neighborhood of Philadelphia, by Alex Hillman[3] and Geoff DiMasi, making it one of the oldest independent coworking spaces in the United States and the oldest coworking space in the city of Philadelphia.
