The pedestal was designed by Richard Morris Hunt in 1881. It fits inside the structure of Fort Wood, a disused army base on Bedloe's Island constructed between 1807 and 1811. The fort itself was built in the shape of an eleven-point star.
The pedestal of the Statue of Liberty was designed by the American architect Richard Morris Hunt. He was commissioned to create the pedestal as part of the larger project to gift the statue from France to the United States. The pedestal is made of granite and stands approximately 154 feet tall, providing a solid foundation for the statue. Hunt's design complements the statue and enhances its prominence as a symbol of liberty.
