| dc.description | Front elevation, detail of an Ionic capital; Erected between 1845 and 1853, it served as City Hall for just over a century. After the completion of the building's basement, the city ran out of money to fund the project, and construction was delayed. A roof was placed over the finished basement, and the police department occupied it until money was raised for its completion. It took 2 years to finish, and on May 10, 1853, it was dedicated. The building measures 90 feet in width and 215 feet in depth, and stands 3 stories high. It is constructed of Tuckahoe marble and features two impressive rows of fluted Ionic columns.
