The Philadelphia Convention Hall and Civic Center, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was a complex of five or more buildings developed out of a series of buildings dedicated to expanding trade which began with the National Export Exhibition in 1899. There were two important buildings on the site. The Commercial Museum, built in 1899, was one of the original exposition buildings. The Municipal Auditorium (Convention Hall) was built in 1931 and Philip H. Johnson was the architect. The site hosted national political conventions in 1900, 1936, 1940, and 1948.
