Fodor's Review:

Built in 1848 as Brooklyn's City Hall, this Greek Revival landmark is one of Brooklyn's handsomest buildings. Adorned with Tuckahoe marble, the building features a hammered square rotunda and a two-story Beaux-Arts courtroom.Today it serves as the office of Brooklyn's borough president and the home of the Brooklyn Tourism & Visitors Center (718/802-3846), which has historical exhibits, a gift shop, and helpful information. It's open weekdays 10-6 and summer Saturdays from 10 to 4. On Tuesday and Saturday a greenmarket sets up on the flagstone plaza in front.
