New Hall at Independence National Historical Park
⚠
New Hall is closed as of March 2025, and it has been closed since at least July 2022. Don’t plan on it opening anytime soon.
SITE OVERVIEW
The current New Hall building is a reproduction of the original that was built by the Carpenters’ Company in 1791. After having a huge demand for rental space in its original headquarters, Carpenters’ Hall just next door, the Carpenters’ Company built New Hall to be its headquarters and occupied it until 1857. The building was torn down in the 1950s and rebuilt by the National Park Service in 1960.
LOCATION
New Hall is located at 320 Chestnut Street (Chestnut Street between 3rd and 4th streets).
