Old Fort Pierce City Hall, Renaissance Revival city hall in Fort Pierce, United States.
The Old Fort Pierce City Hall at 315 Avenue A is a 1925 building designed by architect William Hatcher with Mediterranean Revival and Italian Renaissance Revival elements, built by C.E. Cahow during the Florida land boom. It served as the city hall until 1983 and was restored in 1995 for $500,000.
The building was constructed in 1925 during Florida's land boom and served the city as its administrative center for six decades. A 1995 restoration sparked a wave of preservation projects throughout downtown Fort Pierce.
The building's Mediterranean and Italian Renaissance Revival design, by architect William Hatcher, gave Fort Pierce a civic landmark at 315 Avenue A. After city offices left in 1983, the 1995 restoration made it one of the city's first preservation successes, and it joined the National Register on December 7, 2001.
The building sits on Avenue A in downtown Fort Pierce and is easy to spot. The second floor can be used for events, so it is worth checking ahead if the building is open for visitors.
The building sat underused for years after its role as city hall ended before the 1990s restoration saved it. This revival showed the community's commitment to preserving its past.
