Piedmont City Hall was built in 1908. When it was first built it was just one-story high and had a tall bell tower. It was designed by Albert Farr, a famous architect. Mr. Farr designed many of the buildings in the civic center, including the Piedmont Community Church which was built in 1916 and the Exedra arch. The city also built a bridge across Oakland Avenue to make travel easier.
Over the years, Piedmont City Hall has seen many changes, including the moving of the Police Department to the Veterans building, and the expansion of city staff.
Piedmont will celebrate its centennial in 2007.
