Rome, New York




Rome didn’t have a real City Hall until the cornerstone was laid for this splendid Dutch-inspired building on October 14, 1894. Two stories of brick rise above a rusticated stone first story. The square building is topped by a tile-covered hipped roof crowned by a domed cupola. The City Hall is trimmed in stone and decorated with fluted pilasters. The government moved out in the 1970s and the building is now occupied by public agencies.
