Brockton City Hall

Brockton City Hall is a brick building in the Romanesque Revival style located on School Street in downtown Brockton. It features a five-story tower with terra cotta decorative panels and a Gothic hip roof that dominates the streetscape.

Architect Wesley Lyng Minor designed this as the first dedicated government building for the city, with construction completed between 1892 and 1894. The structure marked an important moment when Brockton needed its own purpose-built municipal home.

The interior halls display murals showing scenes from American history, created by artists during the 1890s. These artworks tell stories of important moments that mattered to the community.

The building occupies an entire city block and offers three separate entrances for visitors to approach from different directions. Access and interior conditions should be confirmed in advance, as historic buildings may have varying accessibility features.

Each of the three entrances displays rounded arches in the Richardsonian Romanesque style with carved stone details that represent rare architectural craftsmanship. These decorative features are often overlooked by visitors but show the skilled stonework of the era.
