City Hall. 100 North Main Street. St. Albans, Vermont. Built in 1897 using the Romanesque Revival Style. Contributing Building to the NRHP District.
#34 on the NRHP District nomination form. Played many basketball games at the gymnasium at the rear of the building. The police department once occupied the second floor. A new building was built on Lower Weldon Street in the late eighties. It was no doubt due to the mingling of arraignments and the general public which was emphasized by an incident I witnessed while walking home for lunch. A group of young students was on a field trip to visit city hall and they were out front when an officer was leading a handcuffed man up the steps. A young man exhibited his curiosity by exclaiming loudly, “What’d HE do? What’d HE do?” To his credit, the officer pretended not to hear him.
