Manhattan Municipal Building, Top from Brooklyn Bridge The David N. Dinkins Municipal Building, originally the Municipal Building and then the Manhattan Municipal Building, at 1 Centre Street in Manhattan, is a 40-story building built to accommodate increased governmental space demands after the 1898 consolidation of the city's five boroughs. Construction began in 1907 and ended in 1914, marking the end of the City Beautiful movement in New York. William M. Kendall of the noted architectural firm McKim, Mead & White designed the building, which was the first to incorporate a subway station – the Chambers Street station, served by the J and Z trains – into its base. Located at the intersection of Chambers and Centre Streets, the Municipal Building stands 580 feet tall and is one of the largest governmental buildings in the world. Photo 288, Oct 2010 |
