HE Pennsylvania Building at the Jamestown
Ter-Centennial Exposition is modeled after
the main building of Independence Hall at
Philadelphia, the birth-place of the Republic. This
structure was built in 1729-35. It was the Colonial
State House; here the plans for the Revolutionary War
were made. Here, also, the Second Continental Con-
gress signed the Declaration of Independence, July
4, 1776. In 1793 Washington was here inaugurated
President for his second term, and in 1797 Adams
took the oath of office as President. Within this
building there hangs on its original beam the old
Liberty Bell, which, in 1776, did “Proclaim liberty
throughout the land.”
It was deemed appropriate, by a committee of
musicians, that a Philadelphia piano should be
placed in the Pennsylvania Building, and they,
therefore, selected a Lester Grand for the Reception
Room, and for the Woman's Parlor, on the second
floor, a Colonial Lester Upright (an art production).
