"Situated on what was the main boulevard of the original downtown of early Brea, The City Hall is a free-standing rectangular shaped (86 feet by 69 feet) two-story structure. It has a flat roof with a short tower over the entrance and is constructed of stuccoed concrete masonry block. Architecturally, the building combines Art Deco and Spanish Colonial Revival styles which were popular during the 1920's when the building was constructed. It has been altered by additions at the side and rear. The structure has been the location of Brea's first publicly-owned municipal government facility for over fifty years. It is located on the corner of the city park, which also contains a former American Legion Hall (1931), a swimming pool and bath house (1928) as well as modern playground, recreation pavilion, basketball court, restrooms, two temporary buildings and parking lots."
