Random Things, #5

More random things.
Federal Hall National Memorial on Wall Street.  Site of the first capitol of the United States under the Constitution.  Site of the April 30, 1789 inauguration of President George Washington.  The current building pictured above replaced the original building and was constructed in the 1830's-1840's.

Roosevelt Island in the East River:  NYC's former smallpox quarantine hospital, which dates from 1856.  The castle-like ruins are stabilized and preserved for viewing.  A good place for a haunted house or a good film location?

S. 
The Helmsley Building, 230 Park Avenue, lit to celebrate the Mets in the World Series. Greg's office was on the 22nd floor.
