City Hall was a hall in New York.
History
In 1702, the City Hall served a dual purpose, existing as both a meeting hall and the city jail. However, these arrangements changed when the New Gaol opened.
Here, many delegates met to plan the rebellion against the Stamp Act, after which the City Hall was also used by the Continental Congress when the United States Constitution was ratified in 1789, being renamed to "Federal Hall." From there, the building served as the location where George Washington was inaugurated as president, but was subsequently torn down in 1812.
