[edit] Original name
A good addition to the article might be to include the original name of the building: it obviously wasn't "Independence Hall" or "State House" when it was built. Maybe it was "Province House" or the "House of Assembly" (wild guesses). Indefatigable 20:14, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thoughts for Improvement
- Increase information for the history
Links to Second Continental Congress- If possible, useages of building between Revolution and Constitution
- Useages after Constitution
- When building was made national monument
- Events in the modern era - perhaps combine the Present Event section
Improve the Protected area info-box- Add section on architecture of the building itself. Size/floors/construction/etc.
- Do something with the pictures at the bottom of the page, Not all seem to belong to this article. Or at least modify how they are presented, they take up a lot of room for not a lot of value
- Find more Popular Culture/Trivia items to add.

The article could use some information on the history of the building during the 19th C. While primarily used as a historic monument, the upper floor was Charles Wilson Peale's Museum, a famed collection of curiosities, stuffed birds and animals, including a Mastodon skeleton.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.39.163.114 (talk • contribs) 10:20, March 27, 2007 (UTC)
