In 1869, the General Assembly of Connecticut granted the Town of Norwich and the County of New London the right to jointly erect a multipurpose building for town, city and county purposes, which originally included a county Superior Court and a jail in the basement. The Second Empire-style City Hall of Norwich, at the intersection of Union Street and Broadway, was built between 1870 and 1873. The clock tower was added in 1909 and a European plaza in 1999. There is also HABS documentation for this building from 1984.
Norwich City Hall (1873)
Extraordinary!! This is my favorite of the Second Empire pictures. I’ve always loved Art Deco, Beaux Arts and have recently discovered the Second Empire style when research my G-grandfather’s house in Mamaroneck, NY. Nice to see the MA site also. Are you considering adding NY?
