Congress Hall Description
Independence Hall is flanked by Congress Hall, in which the first Congress of the United States met from 1790 to 1800 and George Washington and John Adams were elected President, and Old City Hall, which was never in fact the town hall but was the seat of the Supreme Court from 1791 to 1800.

Congress Hall was the site of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives from 1790 to 1800 when Philadelphia was the nation's capital.
