Somerville High School (Somerville City Hall) - Somerville, MA, USA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

The building that currently houses Somerville City Hall once held the area high school. When it was built in 1852, the structure was Greek Revival-style, was shorter (2½ stories), and lacked wings. Subsequent additions would enlarge the building: 1896 saw the construction of a southern wing, while 1923-4 brought the addition of a northern wing, the completion of a third story, addition of a clock tower, spire, and weathervane, and general restyling of the building to its current design, closer to Georgian Revivalist architecture. The City Hall moved to the building in 1871.
