- REVOLUTIONARY WAR, INDEPENDENCE HALL
REVOLUTIONARY WAR, INDEPENDENCE HALL PAY DOCUMENT Revolutionary War pay order for repairs to the Assembly Room of the Statehouse, later to be named Independence Hall. ADS, 1 page. Dated February 13, 1779 in Philadelphia to State Treasurer David Rittenhouse (1732-1796), famous astronomer and clockmaker. To pay Charles Schultz on order sixty pounds, two shillings and six pence, in full for sundry iron work for the Assembly Room. Darkly signed by John Bayard (1738-1807), as Speaker of the House of the Assembly. Schultz receipt at lower right. Both Bayard and Rittenhouse were members of the Committee of Safety and the Constitutional Convention. Bayard was a member of the Sons of Liberty and as Colonel served at the Battles of Brandywine, Germantown and Princeton. The fledgling American government returned to the State house in July 1778 after the British occupation seven months earlier. The State house later became known as Independence Hall due to the keen interest shown by the Marquis de Lafayette in his visit to Philadelphia during his farewell tour in 1824, wanting to see the 'Hall of Independence' which he deemed sacred to the cause of liberty. The Assembly Room to which this document refers, so important to American history, is pictured on the reverse side of the US two-dollar bill, from the original painting by John Trumbull entitled 'Declaration of Independence.'
