This city hall building was completed in 2012, providing more than 5,600 square feet of space for Gervais's city government. This building also serves as the headquarters building for the Gervais Police Department.
Gervais is a town of 2,464 people (2010 Census) in the mid-Willamette Valley, about 13 miles northeast of Salem, Oregon. The town was incorporated in 1874 and is named for Joseph Gervais, one of the first white settlers in the area.
In 1902, all but two of the town's businesses burned down as the town's fire department was unable to handle the blaze and by the time Salem and Portland fire fighters arrived, it was too late to prevent most of the damage, which ultimately was assessed at $100,000.
