And it being found inconvenient to assemble in the open air, subject to its inclemencies, the building of a house to meet in was no sooner propos'd, and persons appointed to receive contributions, but sufficient sums were soon receiv'd to procure the ground and erect the building, which was one hundred feet long and seventy broad, about the size of Westminster Hall; and the work was carried on with such spirit as to be finished in a much shorter time than could have been expected. Both house and ground were vested in trustees, expressly for the use of any preacher of any religious persuasion who might desire to say something to the people at Philadelphia; the design in building not being to accommodate any particular sect, but the inhabitants in general; so that even if the Mufti of Constantinople were to send a missionary to preach Mohammedanism to us, he would find a pulpit at his service.

白话
因为露天集会受天气影响，有人提议建一座聚会所，并指定人员接收捐款。很快筹到足够钱买地建屋，房子长100英尺、宽70英尺，约相当于威斯敏斯特大厅的大小。工程进展迅速，比预期快得多完工。房屋和土地交给受托人，明确供任何宗教派别的传道者使用，只要他想对费城人讲话。建堂目的不是服务某个教派，而是方便全体居民，甚至君士坦丁堡的穆夫提若派传教士来传伊斯兰教，也能找到讲坛。
