The 1930 Fallon City Hall is located at 55 W Williams Avenue in Fallon, Nevada.
The building, designed by architect Frederick DeLongchamps and built by contractors Ernest Gevelhoff and TJ. Rees, is located in Fallen's downtown commercial area. The Spanish Colonial Revival-style Fallon City Hall, which opened for business in April 1931, sits prominently on the southeast corner of Williams Ave and Carson Street in Fallon, Nevada. The 14,352 square foot building sits on a concrete foundation and is one-story in height, over a high basement. The walls are constructed of fired brick laid in stretcher courses. The north elevation is the primary facade fronting Williams Street. A wall dormer defines the front entrance. The semi-circular arched,main entrance is reached by concrete steps with wrought-iron balustrades. A curvilinear keystone highlights the entrance. Flanking the entrance are the original ornate light fixtures. The wood double-door entry is recessed and topped by a multi-light, semi-circular, arched window. Until a devastating earthquake hit Fallon on July 6, 1954, City Hall sported an impressive 50-foot tower. The damaged structure was taken down in August of that year and a 30-foot-high version was built with salvaged brick. (
