Subtreasury Building a Historic Site Source: The National Park Service The old subtreasury building at Wall and Broad Sts., New York City, was set aside in April, 1939. as a historic site and was dedicated on Feb. 21, 1940 as a national historic shrine Federal Hall Memorial. The site is under the administration of the National Park Service, Department of the Interior. Under the new Constitution, Congress was to meet at the Federal Hall March 4, 1789, but owing to the absence of a quorum, it did not formally assemble until April 6. On that date the votes in the Electoral College were opened and counted, and George Washington's election was confirmed. It was not until April 30 that Washington took the oath because of the distance that had to be covered by coach and four from Mount Vernon, where the President-elect awaited formal notifica tion. He arrived in New York, by ferry, April 23. Prior to its use as the first seat of the new Federal Government, Federal Hall, or as it was known before such use, City Hall, it had been used as the meeting place of Congress under the articles of Confederation since 1785. Before that, as far back as 1642, a barn-like structure occupied another site nearby at Coenties slip, on Pearl St., until 1697, when fears for the safety of the Dutch burgesses caused them to refuse to use it further. During 1699 the foundation of a new State House was laid on the present site of the subtreasury, and was finished the following year. In the present building is contained in a bronze, glass covered frame, the brown slab upon which Washington stood out on the balcony of the building facing Broad Street, when he took the oath of office. |
