As a separate work of architecture, Notman's cupola has much to recommend it. It has undeniable power and clean lines. But mounted atop the Georgian-Colonial Nassau Hall, this cupola diminishes the structure rather than enhances it. It's simply too big -- a belfry suitable for a far grander building than Nassau Hall.
