Originally the site of dinners and receptions hosted by Pennsylvania's governor, the Long Gallery served as a hospital for wounded American soldiers during the British occupation of Philadelphia from September 1777 to June 1778. Throughout its history the second floor also served as a natural history museum and portrait gallery, a Federal Courtroom, and meeting place for Philadelphia's City Council.
