The first government building to be constructed in the United States was the Federal Hall in New York City. It was built in 1700 as a City Hall for New York City and later became the first capitol building of the United States. The original structure was demolished in 1812, but the current building on the site retains the name "Federal Hall" and serves as a museum and memorial to the historic events that took place there.
