    Caption: "Independence Hall -- Phila. July 31, 1934." A view of the steeple and bell tower of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, site of the debate over and signing of both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. Completed in 1753 for the use of the Pennsylvania Province's colonial legislature, it was also the site of a 1915 convention marking the formation of the League to Enforce Peace, predecessor entity to the United Nations. The Georgian-style building, designed by Edmund Woolley and Andrew Hamilton, has undergone several renovations. Only the central portion of the building is original -- all other portions of the building have been rebuilt at some point in its past. This building also housed the Liberty Bell until 1976, when the bell was moved to the Liberty Bell Center across the street.
