Federal Hall in New York City, New York, USA, is a historic building with deep significance in American history. Originally built in 1700 as New York's City Hall, it later became the first capitol of the United States under the Constitution. It was at Federal Hall that George Washington took the oath of office as the first President of the United States in 1789. The current structure, which stands on the same site, was completed in 1842 and now serves as a museum and memorial. The building is a National Historic Landmark and houses exhibits related to the early history of the United States and its government.
