Brigham City Fire Station / City Hall
Constructed in 1909 at a cost of $7000, this building originally housed the city fire department on the main floor and city offices on the second floor. It also had a jail cell on the southeast corner and "hobo apartments" in the basement. This was the first city hall built in Brigham City, the city offices having been previously located in the adjacent county courthouse. In 1935 the fire department moved out, and the fire-truck bay on the façade was replaced with the existing brick facade to better accommodate city office use of the main floor. The building continued to serve as the city hall until 1974. Designed by local architect Andrew Funk, this building is the only example of the Spanish Colonial style in Brigham City.
