This imposing Greek Revival building on Wall Street occupies the site of the original Federal Hall, where George Washington took the oath of office as the first President of the United States on April 30, 1789, and where the First Congress drafted the Bill of Rights. The current structure, built as the US Custom House in 1842, now houses a museum of constitutional history.
