In the 17th century, the civic life of New Amsterdam revolved around the City Tavern, which was built in 1642 at the corner of Coenties Slip and Pearl Street. In 1653, the tavern was converted by Peter Stuyvesant into the first official City Hall (Stadt Huys in Dutch), while continuing to serve beer. The second official City Hall was built on Wall Street by the English in 1699-1700, and was extensively renovated and renamed Federal Hall in anticipation of George Washington's presidential inauguration on April 30, 1789. By the end of the 18th century, New York's government was outgrowing its space on Wall Street.
