Description
This art deco brick building was constructed by the WPA starting in 1940. “Cuthbert’s Mid-Century Modern City Hall was a project of the WPA, near the tail-end of funding for the New Deal agency. It’s a quiet landmark of governmental architecture and utilitarian design. The [bronze bell near the door] lists the names of the committee members who oversaw its construction.”
