==First Incarnation of the Hall of Presidents (1971-1993)==
The Hall of Presidents is located in Liberty Square and is housed in a colonial hall. The hall's architecture takes its inspiration from Philadelphia and Boston meeting halls. The building itself is red brick, with a peaked tower serving as its highest point. Above the entrance to the hall, the date 1787 can be read (an obvious reference to the year the Constitution was signed).
After entering the building, guests find themselves in a large lobby. Various portraits of United States Presidents line the walls, and in the middle of the room a large carpet featuring the "Great Seal of the United States" can be found. Other artifacts that can be found in the waiting room include personal property of former Presidents and even some dresses which were worn by First Ladies on Inauguration Day.
