Perth Amboy City Hall is the oldest public building in continuous use in the United States. The original structure was built in 1714-17 but is now concealed with 19th and 20th century additions. Thomas "Mundy" Peterson, the first black voter in the United States under the 15th Amendment, cast his history-making ballot here on March 31, 1870.
