Brunswick's Old City Hall


This image is Copyrighted by Chad Heckle and may not be used without express permission.

Built at a cost of $33,000, construction of the Brunswick City Hall began in 1886 and was completed in 1889. After temporarily closing for a restoration from 2000-2004, Old City Hall reopened in 2004 after the transfer of the seat of city government to a newer City Hall on Gloucester Street. The old city hall is the new home of the city commissioners. The clock tower was taken off in the 1950's after being damaged by storms, and was rebuilt from original drawings during the 2000-2004 restoration.
I love the angle of this shot because its not your typical "postcard" publicity shot.
