NYC: City Hall
Made by wallyg
New York City Hall, on Murray Street between Broadway and Park Row, is the seat of government of the City of New York. City Hall houses the mayor's office and the New York City Council. The New York City Hall building was designed by John McComb, Jr. and Joseph François Mangin. Construction of the City Hall building began in 1803 and was completed in 1812. The design of New York City Hall combines two popular historical architectural elements. The marble and granite exterior facade reflects the French Renaissance while the interior of the building reflects American-Georgian style. The building consists of a central pavilion with two wings. City Hall is entered via a sweeping staircase, which has figured prominently in civic events for more than a century and a half and leads up to the one-story portico, fronting the building. The portico’s roof is surrounded by a balustrade which forms a balcony outside the Governor’s Room’s five large, arched windows. The domed tower in the centre of City Hall was rebuilt in 1917 after the last of two major fires. The building's distinctive cupola has served as a model for spires on other buildings, notably Eliot House at Harvard University. City Hall was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1966. The interior was designated in 1976. (Designation List 64) National Register #66000539
