Meriden’s City Hall, built in 1905-1907, is one of many buildings in Connecticut influenced by the Federal-style design of the Old State House in Hartford, which was serving as Hartford’s City Hall at the time the Meriden building was being constructed. Meriden’s previous Town Hall, built in the early 1860s, had burned in a fire in 1904. The Civil War monument that stands in front of City Hall is the Soldiers Monument, erected in 1873.
