The First Bank of the United States. After the revolution, the young nation had a huge war debt. Added to this was the fact that each colony had a different form of currency. Alexander Hamilton conceived of the bank to handle the country's war debt and to establish a standard form of currency. The bank was moved from Carpenters' Hall to this building in 1797. The building now houses National Park offices and is undergoing renovation. It was not open to the public.

"We now face the danger, which in the past has been the most destructive to the humans: Success, plenty, comfort and ever-increasing leisure. No dynamic people has ever survived these dangers."
The American Adventure has vastly remained untouched or modified in any great form, and for good reason. It's original message and presentation couldn't be more true or relevant.
Erected in 1856, this 8-foot tall bronze likeness of Benjamin Franklin by Richard S. Greenough is boston's first public portrait statue. Located in front of Boston's Old City Hall, an ornate 1862 French Second Empire style structure (appropriately so since Franklin was this country's first ambassador to France), and in front of City Carpet, a hopscotch-like mosaic that marks the original site of Boston Latin School, which Franklin attended before dropping out.
