The photo this caption came from was from 1912. And city hall is part of that old building.

"Russellville, in the Moreau Township, the second town in size and importance in Cole County, is eighteen miles southwest of Jefferson City, the county seat and state capital, and 142 miles from St. Louis on the Lebanon Branch of the Missouri Pacific Railroad. It has four churches, a modern two-story brick school building (where are employed three teachers), an excellent weekly newspaper, flouring mill, bank, large modern brick hotel, livery stable, and, in fact, every convenience and advantage that can be found in a town of much greater pretensions. The merchants are wide awake and progressive, their unusually large stock and low prices drawing to the town trade for many miles in all directions. Most of the business houses are large, modern brick structures. Its healthful location is on the watershed between the North and South Moreau. Its customers are the prosperous and thrifty farmers who till the rich bottoms of the Moreaus, and the splendid wheat-growing and fruit-bearing ridges that lie between these streams. In addition to this great source of wealth (sufficient to support a small city) there is, underlying the surface around town, immense deposits of high-grade lead ore, which is at present undeveloped, but one, the Boaz Mine, which has already added to the wealth of the county more than $50,000. This great source of wealth will unquestionably, when it secures the attention of capital and mining experts, be the means of raising Russellville to one of the largest and most prosperous towns in an eminent degree. It is their broad and well directed efforts that has placed Russellville so far in the lead of other trade centers in the county and made it a most desirable town in which to locate, for those wishing to reap the advantages of a prosperous and growing town, and at the same time enjoy the social and educational advantages of a highly moral and intellectual community." ~ Cole County Illustrated Sketch Book and Directory of Jefferson City and Cole County.
