New York City Hall ARCHITECT: Joseph-François Mangin; John McComb, Jr. DATE: 1802-11 STYLE: Federal, French

City Hall displays unusual architectural detail throughout representing both Federal and French influences. It is a marble building executed in the best tradition of fine craftsmanship. It is a building which – for over one hundred and fifty years – has provided the dignified setting in which the most important events in the history of the City have taken place. It is basically C-shaped in plan with two end wings projected forward at the front. It consists of two stories above a high basement. At the center, an attic story rises above the main roof level and is surmounted by a handsome domed cupola.
