The Birthplace of American Government

Here on the corner of Broad and Wall Street, General George Washington took the oath of office as the first President of the United States.  Home to the first congress, supreme court, and executive offices, the original Federal Hall was trully the birthplace of the current government of the United States.  The current structure, a Greek revivial style Customs House, later served as part of the US Sub-Treasury.  Currenlty, the building still serves the Federal Government as a museum and memorial to the first president and the beginnings of the United States of America.
