The original City Hall building was constructed along the Second Empire style of architecture which is also a style known as Napoleon III. Construction began in 1872 and was completed by 1878. Unfortunately a severe fire in 1922 gutted the elegant historic building leaving only the exterior walls. A completely new building was constructed inside the shell of the ruins and a new modern roof of copper was installed to replace the original slate tiles.
