The Tweed Courthouse (officially the Old New York County Courthouse) is a historic courthouse building in the Civic Center neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. Listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places since 1974, it is the second-oldest city government building in Manhattan, after City Hall. It was built in the Italianate style, with Romanesque Revival interiors, under the leadership of William M. "Boss" Tweed, whose Tammany Hall political machine controlled the city and state governments when the courthouse was built. Architect John Kellum designed the original two wings of the building, which was constructed from 1861 to 1872. The project was completed by architect Leopold Eidlitz, who added the rear wing and finished the interior between 1877 and 1881. The courthouse was made a New York City designated landmark in 1984. Modern restoration and historic preservation were completed in 2001. (Full article...)
