| | City Hall Roof Restoration Project |
 | | The original copper roof of City Hall was installed in 1811; it was replaced in 1853, and five years later, due to fire damage, replaced again. |
 | | City Hall's first sculpture of Justice was commissioned by its architects while the building was under construction. |
 | | In addition, several City agencies have contributed their expertise to this complex undertaking, including the Economic Development Corporation, the Department of City-wide Administrative Services, the Office of the Mayor, the Landmarks Preservation Commission, and the Art Commission of the City of New York. |
