Built Circa 1952
Designed by Albert Frey, John Porter Clark, Robson Chambers, and E. Stewart Williams

This building is made of concrete block. Tubular aluminum bris-soliel offers shade, while allowing a view. In front of the City Council chamber is a large disk, on which is emblazoned "The People are the City." To the west, at the main entrance, is a cutout in the overhang of the same diameter as the disk, yielding a symmetry to the massing.
