Schenectady City Hall, Neoclassical municipal building in Schenectady, US
The building features a square clock tower with a gold-leaf dome, an Ionic neoclassical portico, and a semicircular wing enclosing a rotunda.
McKim, Mead, and White architectural firm designed this municipal structure in 1931, during the challenging economic period of the Great Depression.
The interior incorporates the city seal on brass doorknobs, marble flooring, intricate plaster cornices, and traditional architectural elements from Colonial buildings.
Located between Clinton, Franklin, Jay, and Liberty streets, this administrative center maintains its original interior layout from 1933.
The high construction costs during economic hardship led local residents to name the building 'Fagal's Folly' after Mayor Henry C. Fagal.
