Notes: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_Hall en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:HABS_measured_drawing_of_the_first_floor_of_Independence_Hall.jpg The Independence Hall is the building where both the United States Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were debated and adopted. It is now the centerpiece of the Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The building was completed in 1753 as the Pennsylvania State House, and served as the capitol for the Province and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania until the state capital moved to Lancaster in 1799. It became the principal meeting place of the Second Continental Congress from 1775 to 1783 and was the site of the Constitutional Convention in the summer of 1787. Photographer James Cremer (1821-93) was born in England, and moved to the United States when he was twenty-two. He worked for photographic supply companies in Boston and New York. Cremer established his own photographic supply company in Philadelphia. By 1860, he had a portrait studio and began to publish stereo views. James was a practicing photographer in Philadelphia for 40 years. He worked at the beginning stages of the practice, notably practicing photography as an art form. When he realized there was opportunity in stereo cards, he established his own Stereoscopic Emporium, or stereo card publishing business, on South Eighth Street. Cremer was the largest supplier of stereo cards in Philadelphia. In 1876, he was an exhibitor in the Centennial Exposition held in Fairmont Park. He eventually sold his studio and retired to Brooklyn, N.Y.
