Colorado Springs City Hall, Neoclassical government building in Colorado Springs, United States.
Colorado Springs City Hall is a two-story Classical Revival municipal building completed in 1904 from Chaffee County granite. Its facade has stone columns on a pedimented portico and an elevated entrance. Inside, a domed rotunda with stained glass windows rises above a scagliola wainscot, and the council chambers are paneled.
The building was constructed in 1904 with funding from a wealthy mining magnate who supported civic development in the region. It functioned as the city's main administrative center until 1980, when operations moved to newer facilities elsewhere.
The rotunda holds a scagliola wainscot, a plasterwork imitation of inlaid marble, and the council chambers are paneled. City council meetings take place in the Council Chambers on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month, with working sessions the Monday before; meetings can be watched online via SpringsTV Newscast. The Downtown Review Board also meets in the building.
The surrounding public plaza is easily accessible on foot and provides clear views of the building's exterior architecture from multiple angles. Best to explore the site during daylight hours when the stone details and glass work are fully visible.
The Statue of Liberty on the front lawn was removed during the 1999–2000 renovation and returned on May 12, 2011. The building itself was vacant for a couple of years after the courtrooms left in 1997, before reopening in November 2001.
