Brooklyn Borough Hall was designed in 1835 by architect Gamaliel King.

Brooklyn Borough Hall is on the National Register #80002630.

The image shows a detail of the façade of a Gothic cathedral, notable for its intricate sculptures and reliefs. The main door, with a dark wood design, is flanked by figures of saints and biblical characters, carved in stone with great realism and expressiveness. Above, a frieze with religious representations and pointed arches completes the decoration of the façade. Sitting on the entrance steps, an elderly woman dressed in black adds a human and solemn element to the setting. The scene highlights the contrast between the monumentality of religious architecture and the discreet presence of the human figure.
