Overview
Federal Hall National Memorial at 26 Wall Street stands on the site of New York's first City Hall, where the Stamp Act Congress met to protest "taxation without representation" and where George Washington took the oath as the first president in 1789. The current Greek Revival building, run by the National Park Service, has exhibits on early American government, and a statue of Washington out front.
