Federal Hall National Memorial
Memorial · New York, New York
The site at 26 Wall Street where GEORGE WASHINGTON TOOK THE OATH OF OFFICE on 30 April 1789 as the first President of the United States, and where the first Congress, the first Supreme Court and the first executive departments sat. ⚠ THE BUILDING YOU SEE IS NOT THAT BUILDING — the original Federal Hall was demolished in 1812 and the present Greek Revival Custom House of 1842 replaced it on the same ground.
