Description
Exterior view of the abolitionist meeting place and adjacent buildings at Sixth and Haines Streets in Philadelphia. Several pedestrians stroll the sidewalks. A carriage and horse-drawn cart pass by on the street. The hall, erected in 1838 as an arena for "free discussion", was set aflame by hostile mobs on May 17, 1838 after three days of interracial dedication ceremonies and services. The building ruins continued to stand until the Odd Fellows Society built a hall on the lot in 1846.
