Manhattan's oldest building may have been George Washington's watering hole

A preservationist has discovered a Manhattan building where George Washington is believed to have enjoyed a celebratory drink during the American Revolution in the 18th-century.

The preservationist, Adam Woodward explained that after the English had marched up the Bowery and out of the city in 1783, George Washington and Governor George Clinton had stopped at the Bull's Head tavern, CBS News reported.

There is a good possibility that it could indeed be the home of the legendary watering hole, the oldest building in Manhattan.

However, the building at 50 Bowery is being prepared to be demolished so that a hotel can be built at that site.

According to legend, the Bull's Head's structure, cellar, bones were still inside.
