Auburn City Hall, city hall
Auburn City Hall is a small government building in Auburn, Alabama, constructed in 1933 and covering less than one acre of land. It displays Colonial Revival features with symmetrical lines and pointed pediments that were common in federal architecture of that era.
The building was constructed in 1933 as a post office during the Great Depression, with a straightforward design reflecting those difficult times. After the post office closed in 1991, the structure was renovated in 2001 to serve as the city's administrative headquarters.
Auburn City Hall carries its name from its current role as the city's administrative center, located on Tichenor Avenue where residents conduct local government business. The Colonial Revival design with balanced proportions and classical details has become a defining landmark in the downtown area.
The building is easily accessible and centrally located in Auburn on Tichenor Avenue, where it functions as the city's administrative center. Visitors can view the exterior any time and should check hours if interested in entering or conducting business inside.
The site has roots dating to 1846 when founder John J. Harper donated the land, originally used as a school building that later connected to Auburn University's early development. This location therefore played a foundational role in the town's growth from its inception.
