Formerly Brooklyn City Hall. Located at 209 Joralemon Street, at Cadman Plaza West and Court Street. Designed by Vincent C. Griffith and Stoughton & Stoughton, and constructed 1845-1848. Cupola was designed by Gamaliel King and constructed in 1898.
Greek Revival building with a Victorian cupola (crazy!). The design was originally intended to mimic New York's City Hall, but preferences changed as a lot of time elapsed between the original idea and actually starting to get things done. More on pages 638-639.
HOW TO GET THERE: Take the 2, 3, 4, 5, N, M, or R to Court Street and/or Borough Hall.
