Old City Hall, Supreme Court building in Philadelphia, United States
The Old City Hall features a granite facade with classical details and symmetrical design, housing the restored Supreme Court Chamber from the 1790s.
Between 1791 and 1800, the building served as the meeting place for the Supreme Court while Philadelphia functioned as the temporary capital of the United States.
The Supreme Court Chamber contains period furnishings and artifacts that demonstrate the early development of the American federal judicial system in the late 18th century.

The structure maintains original architectural elements from 1791, including the chamber where Chief Justice John Jay presided over the first Supreme Court sessions.
