In the 1980s, Anna Cucci, the wife of Mayor Anthony Cucci (1985-1988), began a rehabilitation of the council chambers. A photographer, she started with the restoration and updating of the mayors' portrait gallery. Her accidental death while touring in Peru in 1988 halted the project. Twenty years later her vision to restore the chambers was partially funded by a $300,000 grant from the Hudson County Open Space & Historic Preservation Trust Fund. The total repairs, amounting to $1.9 million, included rehabilitation to the plaster friezes, woodwork, stained glass windows and dome, and oak and mahogany furniture.Original file name City Council Chambers 10_Fotor.jpg1900 x 1531Each photograph within this collection is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
