Reuben Harrison Hunt designed this four-story Municipal Building in 1908 with a “U-shape” which helped bring ventilation to the offices. The city spent $30,000 for the land and another $156,750 for the building that housed every department of city government, including a jail. The Neoclassical gem received a complete facelift in 2006 that restored many of Hunt’s interior details to the building although the original form of the building has been altered during renovations that brought such modern amenities as air conditioning in 1968.
