Old City Hall, Government building in downtown Tacoma, United States.

Old City Hall is a government building with Italian Villa design in downtown Tacoma, featuring a ten-story clock tower, yellow Roman brick facade, and located at the intersection of Pacific Avenue and South 7th Street. The structure is currently being transformed into residential and commercial spaces through an adaptive reuse project.

Completed on April 23, 1893, at a cost of $257,965, Old City Hall served as Tacoma's city hall until 1957. It was designed by the San Francisco firm Hatherton and McIntosh, and its Italian Villa style reflected the tastes of Midwest businessmen drawn to the railroad town. The city sold the building after 1957, and in 2019 the council chose Surge Tacoma to redevelop it.

The four bells and the clock were cast by the McShane Bell Foundry in Baltimore, the firm that also cast the Liberty Bell; the bells weigh 8,000 pounds of silver bell metal. Hugh Campbell Wallace, later US ambassador to France, gave them in memory of his daughter on Christmas Day 1904. They were removed during the 2023 restoration as a seismic hazard and because they conflicted with building codes.

The building is currently undergoing renovation and may not be fully accessible to visitors. Check ahead about current access options or plan your visit after the project is completed.

The clock mechanism in the tower features a twelve-foot pendulum suspended by a single wire, creating an unusual engineering solution. The basement jail space is being transformed into an entertainment venue during the renovation.
