"603 Second Street: The Old City Hall was built in 1867-1868 to replace the original City Hall burned during the Battle of Glasgow in 1864. It is a striking example of Romanesque Revival influenced architecture and one of the finest architectural elements of the Commercial Historic District. The building is also important historically for the role it has played in public affairs. From its beginning, it served multiple functions, with the city council room, city offices and jail placed in the basement, a public market house on the ground floor, and a lecture hall on the second. This building served as City Hall for one hundred years, then was replaced when the Glasgow Savings Bank gave the city its 1883 building for use as city offices in 1967. Since then, this structure has served as a senior citizens center and general public meeting place, continuing in variation the public functions it was designed to serve." - Historic District Nomination form
