The Federal Hall was the first capitol building of the United States, located in New York City. It formerly served as the city hall.
History[edit | edit source]
Built in 1700,[1] the building began its function as city hall in 1702. Prior to the opening of the New Gaol in 1759, it also served as the city jail.[2]
Here, delegates from nine of the thirteen colonies met to organize a protest against the Stamp Act.[2] This act made the building famous.[1] In 1776, while New York was under the control of George Washington and the Patriots, the Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton was sentenced to be hanged in front of the city hall after being falsely accused of plotting to murder Washington. Ratonhnhaké:ton was rescued at the execution however, and was able to kill the Templar Thomas Hickey, the true culprit in the plot to kill Washington.[3]
After the American Revolutionary War, the city hall was used by the new Congress when the United States Constitution was ratified in 1789, being renamed to "Federal Hall".[2] From there, the building served as the location where George Washington was inaugurated as president on 30 April 1789.[2][4]
Expanded in 1788, the Federal Hall was torn down in 1812. In 1842, the "Federal Hall National Memorial" was built on the site, although it never actually served as a capitol building.[2]
