This two-story brick building occupies the site of the Assembly Rooms, built in 1765 for social
gatherings, which included card games and balls. The building burned during the Civil War, while
it was being used as the provost marshal’s headquarters. In the 1870s the city government moved
from over on Main Street and occupied the structure, which incorporates portions of three original
walls left standing after the fire. Inside, three murals depict early events in the city’s history.
