   Federal Hall (26 Wall Street)

   The building here was constructed in 1842 as the United States Custom House. The original Federal Hall, erected in 1700 as the second city hall of the colony of New York, no longer stands.

No issue weighed heavier on black New Yorkers than the threat of kidnapping as slave catchers from the South flooded into the city. David Ruggles
