Fall River Government Center

The Government Center features angular concrete forms and glass walls, stretching across Interstate 195 as a massive municipal complex in downtown Fall River.

Constructed in 1976, this building replaced the 19th-century city hall that was demolished during the Interstate 195 construction project through downtown Fall River.

The building's foyer displays the preserved eagle statue from the original city hall, maintaining a connection to Fall River's municipal heritage.

The center houses administrative offices, public meeting spaces, and municipal departments that serve Fall River's 94,000 residents with government services.

This structure stands as the first public building in the United States constructed directly over a federal interstate highway system.
