Who drew up the building plans for Independence Hall?
Independence Hall, formerly known as the State House, was originally designed by Andrew Hamilton. Hamilton worked in collaboration with Edmund Wooley, a member of the Carpenter’s Company, until Hamilton’s death. The State House was conceived as a five-part plan based on the Palladian principle of two secondary buildings linked to a main block by arcades.
