Brooklyn Borough Hall, Town hall in Downtown Brooklyn, United States

Brooklyn Borough Hall features Greek Revival architecture with columns made of Tuckahoe marble and stands at the center of the municipal district.

Construction started in 1836 after land donations from the Remsen and Pierrepont families, with completion in 1848 as the City Hall of Brooklyn.

The building represents the governmental center of Brooklyn, hosting official ceremonies, public meetings, and community gatherings throughout the year.

Located at 209 Joralemon Street, the building maintains regular office hours and provides access to multiple municipal services for Brooklyn residents.

A fire in 1895 led to the replacement of the original cupola with a Victorian cast-iron structure topped by a statue of Lady Justice.
