United Colonies and States Congressional Capitols Calendar, 1774–1790
From the meeting rooms of Philadelphia’s Carpenters’ Hall in 1774 to New York’s Federal Hall in 1790, eleven historic buildings served as the seats of America’s Continental and Confederation Congresses. This richly illustrated calendar presents the architectural, political, and cultural history of each capitol where the foundations of the United States were laid. Each month features:
· A full-color depiction of one of the congressional capitols.
· An architectural and historical profile of the building.
· The political context and key legislation enacted within its walls.
· Daily notations of pivotal U.S. Founding events tied to their actual anniversaries.
Far more than a calendar, this is a portable historical exhibit—bringing together forgotten capitols, overlooked debates, and the legislative milestones that transformed a group of colonies into a functioning republic. Perfect for historians, educators, students, and all who wish to follow the nation’s path from independence to the Constitution, month by month.
Acknowledgments: This calendar was conceived by Stanley Y. Klos and Naomi Yavneh Klos, whose editorial direction shaped the project from the outset. Design and production by Claire Horrigan Klos, NCIDQ, LEED GA. Research and text were prepared by Stanley Y. Klos, drawing upon archives at the Library of Congress, U.S. National Archives, and state repositories in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and New York, with added consultation of records from local historical societies in each congressional city. All image restoration, digital reconstruction, and design execution were accomplished through collaboration between Stanley Y. Klos and ChatGPT (GPT-5).
