Alexandria City Hall

Alexandria City Hall spans an entire block with its Georgian Revival architecture, featuring a central clock tower and symmetrical wings extending from the main structure.

Built in 1871 after a fire destroyed the previous structure, this administrative center stands on a site that has served municipal functions since 1752.

The building maintains its role as the center of local government while the adjacent Market Square continues the tradition of weekly farmers markets since colonial times.

Located at 301 King Street, the City Hall houses numerous municipal departments and offers public services during regular business hours from Monday through Friday.

The clock tower, based on a design by architect Benjamin Latrobe, creates a distinct silhouette that guides visitors through the heart of Old Town Alexandria.
