Notes
  • Significance: The site of Syracuse City Hall has been the center of Syracuse's municipal government since 1846. At that time municipal offices were housed in a portion of the old "Market Hall" (ca. 1845). The building was later converted solely to municipal use and was eventually demolished in 1889 to allow for erection of the present structure.

Syracuse City Hall is executed in the Romanesque revival style popularized through the works of H. H. Richardson. Its rusticated stone masonry, arcaded main entry, steep hip roof, gabled turrets and striking tower provide a strong visual identity for the building. Its architectural character and detail provide perhaps the best example of a major public building executed in the Romanesque style in this region. City Hall's long association with local government and the decisions which have shaped the character of Syracuse, provide the structure with a unique historical historic and symbolic significance.
