MUNICIPAL BUILDING, 1 New Market St., a red brick structure dating from 1889, was used by a bank until 1926. It has an ornately designed front with a round tower on one side, and a superimposed, slate-covered dormer on the other. Across the front is a huge ribbon scroll with dark green border, inscribed, "City of Salem--Municipal Building." - New Jersey: A Guide To Its Present and Past, 1939, Salem section, pg. 394-396
The building is as described in the Guide. It was undergoing restoration at the time of my visit. The building continues to house Salem's city offices.
