It's actually not a government structure. Not today, not ever -- it's still owned by the private company Carpenters Company that built it about 250 years ago.

And the reason the First Continental Congress took place there is exactly because it was a non-government building -- they were, after all, subverting the existing government in a way that could be seen as treasonous.
