City Hall, Government building in Washington Avenue Historic District, US
The City Hall spans three floors with a symmetrical stone facade, featuring tall columns and detailed cornices along its central section.
Construction began in 1820 under architect George Hadfield's design, with financial limitations leading to a phased completion that extended until 1849.
The building served as a location for federal courts and hosted the Recorder of Deeds office, led by Frederick Douglass during the civil rights period.
The structure currently functions as the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, maintaining its role in the city's administrative operations.
The building's east wing was completed in 1826, while the west wing remained unfinished for 23 additional years due to funding constraints.
