Old City Hall, Mission Revival city hall in Gilroy, United States

Old City Hall at 7410 Monterey Street is a Mission Revival building designed by Samuel Newsom with the San Jose firm Wolfe and McKenzie. Its lower level is greystone and its second story white brick, topped with terra cotta coping and a red tile roof. A double golden oak stair stands in the entry, and a clock tower rises above, housing a clock over 100 years old.

The building was constructed in 1905 as Gilroy expanded during the early development of the Santa Clara Valley region. This period marked a time when the city was establishing modern municipal infrastructure.

The building is nicknamed the "Grand Old Lady" and was designed by architect Samuel Newsom with the San Jose firm Wolfe and McKenzie. Visitors can see the double golden oak stair in the entry and the clock tower, whose clock is over 100 years old and has been repaired many times. In recent years the building has housed local restaurants.

The building sits in a central location within Gilroy and is easily walkable from downtown areas. The exterior remains in good condition, allowing visitors to see the craftsmanship of the period without requiring specialized knowledge to appreciate the details.

The clock in the tower is more than a century old and has been repaired many times, so its mechanism predates most of the building's later uses. The entry holds a double golden oak stair, a wood detail visitors can still see inside.
