City Hall, Main and Church Sts. This large modern Georgian structure, one of the most impressive municipal buildings in New England among cities of comparable size, was built in 1926 at a cost of more than $600,000. McKim, Mead and White were the architects.
One feature of the Hall not often mentioned is the Contois Auditorium, in which the City Council meets. With a formal proscenium stage and the capacity to seat several hundred, local theatre groups present their performances here, and it is also one of numerous venues for performances by a variety of artists during Burlington's extensive First Night celebration on New Year's Eve.
