Tweed Courthouse reviews
2 It is very nice inside. I am seeing comments about needing an ID. I am not so sure about that. There are metal detectors at the entrances. With my ID I do not have to go through them. I'm not sure if you go through them without the ID.
The place is beautiful. There is also a tale of a ghost that haunts the building. The ghost is from the guy that stole millions of dollars back many years ago. It is an unteresting read.
I love the elevators that are still in operation.
The frauds involved in this project are legendary: for example, Andrew Garvey, who was the building’s plasterer, was paid $133,187 for two days’ work. That sum was more than half the building’s original budget. After Tweed’s downfall, architect Leopold Eidlitz expanded and finished the structure, which now serves as the headquarters for the city’s Board of Education.
