Washington (then president of the United States) but, the Capitol being removed, he never ocupied [sic] it. It then became the Governors' House, and was the residence of Governors George Clinton and John Jay. The buillding was subsequently used for the Custom-House, from the year 1799 until 1815, when it was taken down." "From an old print made from the original drawing."
