New York City Hall - Definition and Overview

New York City Hall is the center of New York City's municipal government. The mayor's office is in City Hall, the City Council meets there, and press conferences are frequently held on the steps.

The official setting for most mayoral news conferences is in the Blue Room.

City Hall is in Lower Manhattan, on Murray Street between Broadway and Park Row. It faces south to a small, recently renovated park.

When finished in 1812, it was at the north end of the city. The front is marble and granite, the back is sandstone. It is a rather dainty building for the largest city in the United States.
