99 Independence Mall
Philadelphia, PA 19106

Old City Hall, located at the corner of 5th and Chestnut Streets in Philadelphia, serves as a historical landmark where visitors can explore the Supreme Court chamber, a typical 18th-century courtroom filled with period artifacts. The building also features a lobby exhibit dedicated to the history of the Supreme Court, providing a glimpse into the legal debates of the 1790s that resonate with contemporary issues.

Accessibility is a priority at Old City Hall, with wheelchair access available through the west door and assistive listening options upon request. Additionally, the adjacent America's National Parks Store offers a variety of souvenirs and gifts, with a portion of proceeds supporting programming at Independence National Historical Park.
