Old City Hall ????
•
OCH was a refreshingly new style of building upon completion in 1865. Its architects, Arthur Gilman and Gridley James Fox Bryant, drafted a design never before seen in Boston, borrowing from the new addition to the Louvre in Paris to build one of the first French Second Empire structures in the United States. As soon as it was unveiled, the building’s uncommonly ornate features sparked the imaginations of other American designers, spawning numerous imitations across the country. In 1969, City Hall was moved to its current location in Government Center. OCH has been repurposed, but still receives over 500,000 visitors a year.
