Located on the corner of Chestnut and 5th Streets, Old City Hall is open year round, with hours varying by season. Visitors are admitted free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis. Ranger talks are offered. Built as the City Hall of Philadelphia, [Old City Hall] was used by the U. S. Supreme Court from the time the building was completed in 1791 until 1800 when the Federal Government was moved to Washington D. C.. The municipal government and courts occupied the building during the 19th century. [Source]I will be posting more on my recent trips to New York, Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, but above is the lovely Old Supreme Court in Philadelphia. The image is not mine, and I foolishly didn't take any photographs while I was there. Nonetheless, the charm of this small, stark room is obvious from the photo above, where much work was done.
