Yes, most of the time anyway, and when the Congress was meeting in Philadelphia. The building had just been built to be the new state house of Pennsylvania. Today it is called Independence Hall. The Second Continental Congress met there beginning in 1775, and continued meeting there, except when run out of town by the British, for several years until the Second Continental Congress morphed into the Confederation Congress after the Articles of Confederation were adopted. They signed the Declaration of Independence there. In 1787, when the Constitutional Convention met, it was in the same building that it did its work.
