Eureka City Hall

Italian Renaissance Architecture, 1905-1960

Architect J.W. Rowell designed the masonry building which featured a classical entry portico, an elegant cupola with skylights, and street facades of granite blocks, buff-colored bricks, and sandstone detailing.

Built by the Lyon-Wilson Construction Company, this 110 ft. by 120 ft., two-story structure with basement contained all of the city's offices in one building. Fire Company No. 2, police department and jail were also housed here.

Damaged in a 1954 earthquake, the building was demolished in 1960.

Marker is at the intersection of 3rd Street and G Street on 3rd Street.
