What is was before The same building once served as the US Customs House and US Sub-Treasury Building Why it’s notable The site—though not this building—is where George Washington was sworn in as the first president of the United States.

Tours are available on weekdays. Fast fact The bronze statue of Washington that fronts the building is 12 feet tall; a 2-foot cast of John Quincy Adams Ward’s sculpture can be found at the Met Fifth Avenue.

This is NY's original City Hall built back in 1703. It is where George Washington took his oath of office as the fist president of the US.

This is a central location on the famous Wall Street. Serves as a great starting place for walking around to explore the street.
