You are a researcher working with the Treasury Department and the Philadelphia Historical Society on a brochure that will introduce tourists visiting the First Bank of the United States, the nation’s first federally chartered bank, which still stands at 120 South Third Street in Philadelphia. In approximately 225 words, your brochure should explain why the bank was chartered, what services it provided, how long it was chartered, what competition the bank faced and what happened after the bank’s charter expired.
