Image of an eye-level exterior view of the temporary convention hall built in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, opposite Girard College between 21st and 22nd streets on Girard Avenue for the first national political convention after the Civil War organized to rally the Union Party in support of President Johnson and in opposition to the reconstruction policies passed by "radical" Republicans in Congress; crowds of men and women enter the front and side entrances as a horse-drawn vehicle passes by.
