Independence Hall today.  A similar, but different street light is present.  It is now metal instead of concrete.  The building is now used for various shops.  The jail can be seen on the far right.


The old jail, on McLeod Street.  Independence hall can be seen on the left edge.  The windows still have the bars on them.
