Newton City Hall and War Memorial, Colonial Revival city hall and war memorial in Newton Centre, Massachusetts.
The two-story brick Georgian Revival structure features a central section with flanking wings, stone quoining, and a Greek temple-style portico with Corinthian columns.
Constructed in 1932 by architectural firm Allen and Collens, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in February 1990.
The western portion of the building functions as a war memorial, commemorating Newton citizens who served in military conflicts throughout United States history.
Located at 1000 Commonwealth Avenue on a triangular lot, the city hall houses government offices and provides space for municipal meetings and community gatherings.
The Olmsted Brothers designed the surrounding landscape to balance the scale of the building within its triangular parcel between Commonwealth Avenue and Homer Street.
