Named for Alexander Hamilton, a Founding Father, and designed by Cass Gilbert in the Beaux-Arts style, it was erected from 1902 to 1907 to house the Port of New Yorks duty-collection operations. The building contains the George Gustav Heye Center museum, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, and local offices of the National Archives. The facade and part of the interior are New York City designated landmarks, and the building is a National Historic Landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The main entrance consists of a grand staircase flanked by Four Continents, a set of four statues by Daniel Chester French. The United States Customs Service moved out of the building in 1974, and it remained vacant for more than a decade until renovations in the late 1980s.

A loud and constant chirper, they are very social and often congregate in small groups in the wild. They eat throughout the day and take frequent baths. Coloration can vary widely among populations, and plumage is identical in males and females. Lovebirds are renowned for their sleep position in which they sit side-by-side and turn their faces in towards each other. Females are well noted to tear raw materials into long strips, twisty-tie them onto their backs, and fly substantial distances back to make a nest. These photographs of a rosy-faced lovebird of the subspecies A. r. roseicollis, seen from the front (top) and the back (bottom), were taken in Erongo Region, Namibia.Photograph credit: Charles J.
