History

This Second Empire civic building was designed by Samuel J. F. Thayer. The granite exterior holds many original features, such as the central stairwell and council and aldermen's chambers. Though threatened with demolition during the 1950s and 1960s, Mayor Vincent A. Cianci, Jr. championed the building's restoration, including getting it added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
