A bronze statue of George Washington welcomes visitors to historic Federal Hall on Wall Street. It is located on the site of Washington's swearing in to the United States presidency in 1789. The present building was erected in 1834-1842 to house the United States Custom House and went under extensive renovation in 2004. It is one of the best examples of classical architecture surviving in the city. Today, it holds an interactive exhibition relating to the United States Constitution. A copy of the Bill of Rights is also on display. Admission is free.
