George Washington stone removal to save statue base
A brownstone slab known as the George Washington stone on the George Washington statue pedestal is to be removed to prevent destruction. The stone, which symbolized Washington taking the oath at Federal Hall, has a long history with Bellevue Hospital and the Commerce Committee and dates back to 1789. Authorities moved it between Federal Hall, Bellevue, and the Sub-Treasury site, with weather damage noted last year and wire netting used for support.
