Renovation of the 1856 City Hall required careful planning to achieve current courthouse standards while preserving and restoring as much as possible of the building’s rich heritage. Details such as pressed-tin ceilings, cast-iron structural columns, and an elaborate central staircase were carefully restored to original specifications or replaced with matching materials.

The upgrades ensured structural integrity, reduced energy consumption, and improved operational efficiencies, while visual integration between new and old was established through compatible materials and spatial relationships. The result is a home for municipal services that serves everyone in the community.
