Baltimore: City Hall Baltimore City Hall, situated on a city block bound by Lexington Street, Gilford Avenue, Fayette Street and War Memorial Plaza, was constructed between 1867-1875 and officially dedicated on October 25, 1875. It is the official seat of government of the City of Baltimore, housing the offices of the Mayor, City Council, and City Comptroller. In 1830 the city of Baltimore purchased the Peale Building to serve as its City Hall, but outgrew it within two decades. In 1860, taxpayers approved the new City Hall, but construction was stalled by the Civil War. The six-story structure was designed by the 22-year old architect, George A. Frederick, in the Second Empire style, a Baroque revival, with prominent Mansard roofs with richly-framed dormers, and two floors of a repeating Serlian window motif over an urbanely rusticated basement. At a cost of $2.27 million, Baltimore city Hall is built largely of brick with the exterior walls faced with white marble, which alone, quarried in Baltimore, cost $957,000. The segmented dome capping the building is the work of Baltimore engineer Wendel Bollman, known for his iron railroad bridges. By the end of World War II, City Hall began showing signs of age. In 1974 the city voted to renovate the old city hall rather than build a new one. Architectural Heritage Inc., in association with Meyers, D'Aleo and Patton Inc., were retained to begin the design. The ceremonial chambers were restored and the office space was doubled. In the process the dome was disassembled and put back together. Two years and $10.5 dollars later the building was reopened.
