Federal Hall, National Memorial in Wall Street, Manhattan, United States.

The Federal Hall National Memorial stands at 26 Wall Street with a Greek Revival design featuring marble columns and a central rotunda.

The original building on this site witnessed George Washington taking his first presidential oath in 1789 and housed the first United States Congress.

The structure transformed from a customs house to a subtreasury building, holding seventy percent of the federal government's financial reserves by the early 1900s.

The memorial functions as a museum operated by the National Park Service, displaying exhibits about early American government and Washington's presidency.

Members of Congress gathered at Federal Hall in 2002, marking their first assembly in New York City since 1790.
