The building's interior structure is grand by design. It was once the official location of Brooklyn City Hall before Brooklyn became a member of New York City that now make up the five NYC boroughs. The building is now a public landmark used for office space and events for public and private events. Visitors should schedule tours in advance. The outdoor plaza has a seating area with tables and chairs. Individuals may been seen doing art paintings too.

I did not go in and only took photos of the building from a nearby park. It's easy on the eye with its beautiful architecture and design.

We came here on our tour with NY Adventure Club (true hidden gem for NYC tours!!!) built 1848 for the purpose of city hall of Brooklyn. Then in 1898 with consolidation it became Borough Hall. The coupla burned and when it was rebuilt they made sure it was TALLER than the NYC hall copula! Lol Today the Borough Hall has no real power they are elected but they are more like celebrities (like the queen of England but less rich & they do need to be elected) ***1898 consolidation the new mayor of NYC Van Wyck (yes! expressway is named after him) he was hand picked by corrupt Tammany Hall democratic machine!!! Before consolidation Seth Low (from the pierrepont family - the family that was so RICH the owned half of the land in this area and they are the founders of YALE university!!!) - but don't worry 1898 consolidation did benefit Seth Low - he eventually became Mayor of NYC!!! Are they all connected at the top!!!!????!!!! I mean seriously?!?!?! **Another fun fact Van Wyck & Charles Morse tried take over the ICE industry & create a Monopoly....

Brooklyn has changed but at least the buildings are still standing. No more court officers in the court houses but plenty of outsourced security. In the official description they changed Lady Justice to justice. They are changing history right in our face. Lady Justice on top of Brooklyn Borough Hall in Downtown, Brooklyn. Official description: "Brooklyn Borough Hall houses the Brooklyn Borough President and is Brooklyn’s oldest public building and the heart and soul of its Civic Center. Completed in 1851, the structure was constructed before the 1898 consolidation of New York City, and served as Brooklyn’s City Hall. Designed by architect Gamaliel King, Borough Hall’s imposing Greek-Revival style façade is clad in Tuckahoe marble and borders bustling Columbus Park. The building is defined by its monumental staircase with six ionic columns supporting a triangular pediment and its cast-iron cupola capped by a statue of Justice. The Brooklyn Tourism Office is located on the Joralemon Street entrance." #brooklyn #brooklynboroughhall

An overlooked brooklyn gem. Despite what you think of the politics in the building, it's a great little place to grab an instagram, grab a picture, grab a snapchat (LOLJK NO ONE USES SNAPCHAT). just go check it out, there's cool architecture, there's cool lighting at night, and just check out that Christmas Tree in the Christmas time. 5/5. woot.

I've never been inside Borough Hall, but I have to say that the building looks really stunning from the nearby park/sidewalk access areas that are parallel to Court Street. From the front of Brooklyn Borough Hall, you can see far-off views of the Manhattan Bridge. Cadman Plaza is nearby as well, and you can walk to Tillary Street from Cadman, which connects you to Brooklyn Bridge Boulevard (if you want to walk over the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan)! Overall, the building is worth a visit (I'm sure the indoor areas are lovely, too). As a bonus, the area surrounding Borough Hall offers great access to other attractions in this part of Brooklyn.

Time of day: Wednesday afternoon Worth seeing: beautiful place Crowded: my Rating: very nice square with the old town hall in the background. You can sit down and just enjoy the place. A statue of B.I.G. decorates the place.

Great place. Nice views. Thanks .

Lots of changes - new buildings popping up every second but the wackos need to go

I was doing a topographical application to get a house number approval. The lady in charge at the 3rd floor is wonderful. She knows her work and her services are marvelous.

Such a a sunny beautiful day

Nice spot for skate flat in Brooklyn

There's a lot to stop and admire when you're in Brooklyn. Pigeons are among the lovely things you'll see when going for a morning walk through Borough Hall.

Under renovation - Needs brighter lighting

Authentic antique collections Circa 1848 in Brooklyn, New York, brags architectural pride with hall of pedestals, stairs and balustrades on either side, used as reception for mayor's office, governor's room and Common Council Chambers

Fabulous staff..and security guards..Great African Exhibition showcase..

Great looking area with old and new buildings. Posting pictures very soon.

The gutter rat that you have answering your phones today, please review that individuals purpose behind their position. This is suppose to be an office where people can get help or answers to their issues. To be met with such incompetence and unprofessionalism is rather disgusting. However, this is exactly what Customer Service has come to since after the pandemic. Its as if companies/organizations hire people that come from the bottom of a shoe.

Let's hope we get some better leadership in office... let's go Eric Adams bring our city back

My every day stop not bad at all
