Well, while he didn't sleep right there, on many occasions he did not sleep far from it. For example, he slept at Fraunces Tavern a number of times ( Click here for the General's itinerary ) which is prhaps 100 yards from the wall, and when he was President he lived at what is now 30 Broadway, perhaps 150 yards from the wall.

Awesome... thank you.

BTW, many moons ago (mid-70s), I lived in Valhalla and White Plains, NY - I remember my folks driving around town and I saw a sign that read "Washington's Headquarters." After years of badgering my parents, they finally brought me there for a tour. I remember the guide mentioning that during Washington's time at the headquarters the soldiers would cast bullets out of silver (at the time I thought it was because of people like the Headless Horseman of Irving's Sleepy Hollow - Tarrytown not being far away). I also distinctly remember looking out the windows and the view was distorted - panes still held the original glass from the 18th century. Good stuff.
