The exterior building has been fully restored to its original state with the interior renovated to accommodate 14 administrative departments, including the office of the mayor. An adjacent building that was formerly a bank, donated by Bank of America, has been converted into a legislative building and now houses the city council chambers.
“Restoring and preserving historic structures is a privilege and responsibility that we take very seriously, and we’re grateful for this recognition,” said Pamela Bailey, senior project manager at BOND and lead on the project.
The event coincided with National Historic Preservation Month, which celebrates the nation’s heritage through historic places.
