Syracuse City Hall, Syracuse
Syracuse City Hall has been the seat of Syracuse's city government since its opening in 1889. This building's unique architecture is in a Romanesque Revival style. Like many historic buildings in this city, the hall features a construction of Onondaga limestone, which helps give the building its impressive look, often described as fortress-like.
One of the highlights of the building is a 165-foot bell tower, initially hosting a brass bell. This bell was melted down for use as part of the war effort when World War II occurred. An electronic carillon was installed in 1987, with the generosity of the local Rotary Club.
This building retains many of its most iconic features, such as arched doorways and doors with leaded glass. An interesting historical touch that visitors can also see are original lampposts in front of the building, upgraded for electricity but still featuring the design of the original gas lights.
