Boston, MA Old Boston City Hall
The old City Hall was designed by Gridley James Fox Bryant and Arthur Gilman, and was built between 1862 and 1865. It is in the Second Empire style. The old City Hall was the seat of Boston government from 1865 to 1969.
It's highly ironic the old City Hall was not demolished and is even on the National Register since the Second Empire style was roundly derided in the 1920s and 1930s during the Revival period as "old fashioned" and "too Victorian".
The old Boston City Hall is on the National Register #70000687.
