Vintage Photos: Construction of the Statue of Liberty in Paris and NYC - Untapped New York
Building the Statue of Liberty: The United States, for their part, was expected to build the pedestal, but fundraising proved a difficult task: Americans were critical of the statue, claiming that the U.S. shouldn’t have to contribute to a gift meant for them. As a result, the pedestal wasn’t completed until 1885, after which France disassembled the colossal statue and shipped the parts to the United States to be reassembled there.
