On the Cover: The stained glass dome inside City Hall’s Anna R. Cucci Memorial Council Chambers was installed in 1917, one year after the chandelier-centered
ceiling had been destroyed by the infamous Black Tom munitions explosion in what is now the southern quadrant of Liberty State Park. “The old chandelier, hanging like the sword of Damocles, always a source of fear lest at any time it might fall,” wrote The Jersey Journal, “has been eliminated and a metal dome constructed, surmounted
with a beautiful stained glass skylight.” – John Gomez
