The Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Municipal Building, also the Brooklyn Municipal Building, is a civic building at 210 Joralemon Street in the Downtown Brooklyn neighborhood of New York City, built in 1924. [1] Designed by McKenzie, Voorhees & Gmelin, [2] it cost $5,800,000. [3] It contains a branch of the New York City Clerk's office (including a detail of the New York City Marriage Bureau) [4] and branch offices for the Departments of Buildings, Probation, Finance, and Environmental Protection. [5]
In July 2012, the Landmark Preservation Commission approved an upgrade to the first few stories and add much commercial signage. [6] In 2016, renovation was done on two cellar levels and two floors. [7]
In 2020, it was announced that the building would be renamed for the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was born and raised in Brooklyn. [8] New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio attributed this honor to the “great things on the world stage” this Brooklynite had done. [9]
On Monday March 15, 2021, the Brooklyn Municipal Building was renamed after United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in a ceremony attended by Mayor Bill de Blasio, First Lady Chirlane McCray, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, and the family of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. [10] Borough President Adams first pitched the name change to the mayor in September 20, 2018, through a letter which cited Ginsburg's many connections to the borough. [11]
The building was officially renamed on March 15, 2021, in a ceremony that included the mayor, the Brooklyn borough president, and relatives of the late justice. [12]
