Review:
Federal Hall, Manhattan preserves the site of one of America's earliest colonial government buildings, originally constructed between 1699 and 1703 as the city's first City Hall building, which housed the Congress of the Confederation following the American Revolutionary War. The second and current Federal Hall building, which was constructed in 1842, is considered to be one of the finest preserved examples of Neoclassical architecture in New York City. It is operated today as Federal Hall National Monument, open to the public for free on weekdays during business hours. Exhibits chronicle the building's significance in American politics and government, including its use as the site for the presidential inauguration of George Washington. The site is also home to a Discover New York Harbor Visitor Information Center, which provides tourist information on Manhattan's top attractions and landmarks.
