Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was where both the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution were devised and signed.
New York and Philadelphia were both used as temporary capitals during the Revolutionary war as either was captured by the British or liberated, but by the end of the war, Philadelphia was the capital of the United States, and would remain that way as the United States government slowly shifted to the newly built Washington City as various Federal buildings like the White House were completed. John Adams was the first President to live in the White House.

The first Continental Congress, which met from September 5, to October 26, in 1774, met in Carpenter's Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Carpenter's Hall was built as a meeting place for the Carpenters' Company of the City and County of Philadelphia.
The Second Continental Congress met in the state house in Philadelphia, PA. They met from May 10, 1775 until March 1, 1781.
In June 1774, William Pitt, a member of Parliament, asked British leaders to become patient. The first Continental Congress met because they were trying to adopt a more gentle way of governing America, and to possibly petition Britain for a more respectful treatment. This was not to be, and the Congress was forced to reconvene two years later to very seriously discuss independence.
The second continental congress met in Carpenter's Hall, but moved to the Pennsylvania state house (or independence hall) due to the lack of space in Carpenter's Hall.
