The design blends Georgian and early Federal styles, with red-brick facades and white arched windows showcasing colonial craftsmanship. Today, managed by The Carpenters' Company, it displays 18th-century woodworking tools and artifacts. Visitors can explore exhibits or join guided tours to immerse in the political ambiance that preceded the Declaration of Independence.
