Philadelphia - Chestnut Street

On the section of Chestnut Street to the east of Independence Hall are a number of other historic buildings: the Second Bank of the United States (1824-41), now containing a collection of portraits of leading figures in the fight for independence; New Hall, with the Marine Corps Memorial Museum (recalling the role of the Marine Corps in the fight for independence); on the opposite side of the street the Philadelphia Marine Museum (history of shipping on the Delaware River and in Delaware Bay); beyond this Pemberton House, a reproduction of the home of the Quaker Joseph Pemberton, now occupied by the Army-Navy Museum; and beyond this again Carpenters' Hall (No. 320), in which the First Continental Congress met in 1774, now a museum of the carpenter's craft.
