CITY HALL AND MUNICIPAL BUILDING-NEW YORK CITY
Back:
THE CITY HALL OF NEW YORK is one of the
quaint beauties of the old regime. Built from 1803 to 1812
this marble house for Gotham's mayors has been the stage
for many an historic scene. Perry's victory on Lake Erie
in 1812 made it look like a "sea of fire". It acclaimed La-
fayette, celebrated the opening of the Erie canal, and the
laying of the Atlantic cable. Lincoln and Grant lay in
dead state within it. The Governor's Room contains furni-
ture used by the first Congress of the United States, and
here are the two desks used by Washington. During the
World War, Joffe, Balfour, and all the lions and leaders of
the world who came, stood on the steps of the City Hall.
