26 Wall Street is a really historical building, but it was not the first Central Bank. Alexander Hamilton established the first Central Bank in Philadelphia in the 1700.
It was in the 1700s the City Hall of New York and then later after the revolution it was where Congress met. It became known as Federal Hall in George Washington was sworn in as president there.

Later in the 1800s we had a money system called an independent Treasury and this building became a subtreasury building. The system got managed by the FED after 1913
The Federal Reserve Bank replaced the Subtreasury system in 1920, and the Subtreasury office closed on December 7 of that year.[60] The Assay Office leased the Subtreasury building to the Fed, which was constructing a building of its own, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York Building, two blocks north.[61] The Fed started moving its monetary holdings from the Subtreasury to the new Fed building in May 1924.[62]
Lower Manhattan is pretty interesting. When I used to work down there. I used to eat lunch occasionally at the place where George Washington said goodbye to his officers.
It’s still amazing that Trump just “coincidentally” bought the property directly adjoining the first central bank of the United States.
LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOO
What building are you speaking of?
Looking this up. I see the first Central Bank was in Philadelphia
I think I called it wrong, but 26 Wall Street, NYC.
OK.
