Historic First Bank of the United States Building to Reopen

Philly Daily, where my On Crime column appears, reports the Independence National Historical Park and Independence Historical Trust announced that there will be a public ribbon cutting on July 1 to celebrate the multi-year, $43 million renovation of the historic First Bank of the United States.

"For more than two centuries, the First Bank building has stood as a symbol of the nation's transition from revolution to republic," said Steve Sims, superintendent of Independence National Historical Park. "The building connects the victory of the Revolution to the difficult work of creating a functioning government, economy, and civic identity in the years that followed."
