Description

In 1912, City Hall was built where the remains of the prior City Hall were before it burned down in 1908. The building was erected in the Second Renaissance Revival style out of Granite from a quarry in North Jay, Maine. City Hall remains one of the most architecturally spectacular buildings found in Portland and stands out with its green roof and impressive bell tower and spire. Inside, it houses the Kotzschmar organ, which hosts a number of concerts throughout the year.
