Independence Hall, Philadelphia
Pictures by Edwin Olsen and Blake Clark
Independence Hall rises in red brick and white tower among green trees on Chestnut Street, in a hand-coloured photochrom from about 1900, with a lively 1926 kite-view map of Philadelphia inside. Both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were debated and signed within these walls. For someone who loves Philadelphia or American history.
