The
NRHP Nomination Form contains the following verbiage to describe this contributing building's significance:
The Roseburg City Hall, completed in 1973, was designed by the architectural firm of Kruse and Fitch of Coos Bay, Oregon. It features a one-story octagonal meeting room with a glass-enclosed connecting lobby and hallway and a three-story office building. The building is sited on a sloping lot; thus the main entrance opens onto the second floor. It is a poured concrete structure with random stone panels divided by projecting piers. These panels form the exterior walls on the separate octagonal meeting room and on the corners of the main building; other walls are glass or concrete. The main second floor has stone panels and fixed windows; the third floor is lined with fixed ribbon windows in metal frames. There is a wide roof overhang with a metal covering.
The building was completed on the 100th anniversary of the founding of Roseburg, 1972. Jack Beals, a local architect was an associate; the contractor was Todd Building Company of Roseburg. William T. Evans was Mayor of Roseburg at that time.
