Photograph of a large room, named The Great Hall in Faneuil Hall. On the left are two floors of chairs framed by white columns of classical design creating windows of space that allow spectators to view what is happen in the middle of the room on the ground floor. In the middle are rows of wooden chairs. Most remain empty, but several rows near the front of the room are occupied by visitors. On the right side is a stage lined with red, white, and blue arched banners. Flags stand on top of the stage, along with chairs. On the back wall are several paintings in gold framed, including one significantly larger than the rest that is the length of the stage.

The Great Hall in Faneuil Hall, where many of the labor meetings, votes, protests, and speeches took place.
