New York City Hall |
City Hall is close to the site where the Declaration of Independence was read to the army July 9, 1776 and is New York City's third. Constructed from 1803-1812, designed by John McComb and Joseph Mangin, the building has undergone many restorations during its almost two hundred-year history. The original copper roof of City Hall was installed in 1811; it was replaced in 1853, and five years later, due to fire damage, replaced again.
Tours available daily.
