Jackson City Hall

Jackson City Hall is a government building in Downtown Jackson featuring Greek Revival architecture and a white facade. The two-story structure continues to serve as the main seat of municipal administration in Mississippi's capital.

The building was constructed in 1854 and survived the upheaval of the Civil War while serving multiple functions. Throughout its history, it has served as both a hospital and a Masonic temple.

The structure holds three significant designations: National Register of Historic Places, Mississippi Landmark, and Local Landmark of Mississippi.

The building is located in the heart of Downtown and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors can view the exterior at any time, while access to the interior depends on current administrative hours.

The building was constructed through the labor of individuals working under difficult circumstances whose contributions are often overlooked. Their role in creating this public structure represents an important but rarely discussed part of its past.
