SUMMARY:Alumni Assembly at Carpenters’ Hall
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Cornell Club of Greater Philadelphia\, and warmly welcoming alumni from all schools\, the Alumni Assembly at Carpenters’ Hall is a refined autumn gathering set inside one of Philadelphia’s most historic—and rarely accessible—buildings. \nCarpenters’ Hall\, famously the site of the First Continental Congress in 1774\, remains home to The Carpenters’ Company\, the oldest continuously operating craft guild in the United States. This fall\, guests will enjoy private access to the entire first floor\, featuring original 18th-century architecture\, period portraits\, and exhibits that tell the story of the Hall’s role in American history. You’ll also have the rare opportunity to explore the second-floor library\, which is typically closed to the public. \nThe Carpenters’ Company Library\, established in its current home in 1868\, is one of the city’s best-kept secrets—a working research collection of over 5\,000 volumes and 120 linear feet of archival material. Originally housed in New Hall\, an early 19th-century school of architecture and design\, the library was moved to its current space under the stewardship of Sarah and Martha Stewart\, the wife and daughter of Company member James Stewart. Today\, it continues to be overseen by The Company’s Library\, Archives\, and Museum Committee with the guidance of consulting archivist Carol Smith. \nThe evening will feature:\n🍷 Craft beer and boutique wine (included with registration)\n🥂 Light fare from Kiddo\, a standout in Philly’s culinary scene known for its bold\, seasonal flavors\n🗝️ Exclusive access to a space rich in American history\, open only to your group \nWhether you’re reconnecting with old classmates or meeting fellow alumni from across schools and fields\, this is your chance to experience an extraordinary evening of history\, hospitality\, and community. \nEvent Details:\nDate: Friday\, November 7\, 2025\nTime: 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.\nLocation: Carpenter’s Hall – 320 Chestnut Street\, Philadelphia PA 19106\nRegistration cost is $75 \nFor Young alumni: $50 (Available for the first 25 Young Alumni to Register: Classes of 2020-2025) \nEvent Questions?
