In this episode of The Gotham Center podcast “Sites and Sounds,” Don Hawkins talks about Federal Hall on Wall Street, home to colonial New York’s city hall, former site of the US sub-treasury, and most famously, the place where George Washington took the oath as America’s first President. Hawkins, considered by many the dean of Washington D.C.’s architectural history, is working on a book about Pierre Charles L'Enfant, who redesigned the building. He is also an urban planner, who has played a role in more than two-hundred-fifty building projects throughout the nation’s capital.
