Description:

Designed by Walker & Morris, the Battery Maritme Building is constructed of cast and wrought iron. Its elaborate exterior materials include structural steel, cast iron, copper, stucco and ceramic tiles in vibrant colors. The former passenger waiting hall on the second floor features unique plaster finishes, large cast iron columns, and dramatic lead-patterned glass windows. It is 30 feet high and encircled by 21,775 square feet of support space.

Its many unique architectural assets include nearly 8,800 elements of cast iron, riveted rolled steel plates and angles, sheet copper ornamentations, ceramic tile and stucco paneled walls, and a copper panel mansard roof system. During the previous restoration work, a new 2,800-square foot skylight was added, and the Guastavino tile vault on the ceiling of the second floor loggia deck at the front of the building was restored.
