History

Independence Hall (1732–1753) was built as the State House for the Colony of Pennsylvania. The Second Continental Congress met there from May 1775 to December 1776, from March to September 1777, and from July 1778 to March 1781. The Declaration of Independence was debated and signed in the hall. Congress under the Articles of Confederation met there from March 1781 to June 1783. The Constitutional Convention met there from May to September 1787, where it debated, wrote, and signed the United States Constitution.

Models and Miniatures

Under the Works Progress Administration, Pennsylvania began the Museum Extension Project, which employed artists, architects, and craftsmen to create exhibits for the state's museums. Among the works produced were highly-detailed scale models of historic buildings. In anticipation of the September 1937 sesquicentennial of the U.S. Constitution, 2,600 painted plaster models of Independence Hall were mass-produced and shipped to schools and public buildings across the country.[14]
