New Bern City Hall

The red brick and granite building features a three-and-a-half-story main structure with hipped roofs, dormers, and a two-and-a-half-story wing at 300 Pollock Street.

The structure, built in 1897 by the federal government, initially served as a post office, federal courthouse, and custom house before becoming city hall in 1936.

The Romanesque Revival architecture of the building represents the federal construction standards of the late nineteenth century in the United States.

The municipal building occupies 0.8 acres of land and continues to function as the administrative center for New Bern's local government operations.

The Baxter Clock, a freestanding clock tower located in the square outside the building, marks the entrance to this National Register of Historic Places structure.
