The City of St. Joseph is celebrating 90 years at its current City Hall location with a public photo gallery display.

According to a news release, the building is of an Italian Renaissance Revival style and features a concrete balustrade loggia on the second level, engaged columns, arched openings, and a red tile hipped roof. The marble used was quaried in Missouri. The pink marble came from south of St. Louis and the gray from Carthage. The walls of the building are 12 inches thick and there are 12 vaults located in the building. The fixtures are solid bronze as are the six entry doors on the north and south sides of the building. Construction of the building started in 1926, took approximately 16 months to build, and was designed by the architectural firm of Eckel & Aldrich.

The old City Hall building was located in Market Square. On July 7 1927, a parade of around 400 people walked from the old building to the current location at 1100 Frederick Avenue as part of a dedication ceremony.

The city said a photo gallery will be on display in the lobby of City Hall beginning Friday and be up through July 28. After that, the framed photos will be permanently hung along the hallway of the second floor of City Hall.
