City Hall, Saratoga Springs
The history of Saratoga Springs as an incorporated entity dates back to 1826, when it was officially recognized as a village. During the 19th century, the city became a favored retreat for prominent political and cultural figures, including Martin Van Buren and Stephen Douglas.
As the city's importance grew, so did the need for an official government building. City Hall was completed in 1871, providing a permanent home for local administration. In 1915, with Saratoga Springs鈥� transition from a village to a fully incorporated city, the building鈥檚 name was officially changed to City Hall.
Saratoga Springs City Hall was built by the firm Cummings & Burt in the Italianate style. This elegant structure originally featured a bell tower and clock, which were removed in 1936. As part of the Broadway Historic District, the building contributes to the city's rich architectural heritage and was included in the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
