INTERIOR RESTORATION
SAVANNAH CITY HALL- 1906
SAVANNAH, GA
THE OLD AND THE NEW
Constructed between January 1903 and January 1906, Savannah’s City Hall stands as a monument to the progressive spirit of the City of Savannah during the early 1900s when the municipal government strived to achieve “A Greater Savannah.” The City desired a larger home to reflect the community’s prosperity and to give the growing government adequate facilities with “a building for a century to come.” Since then, City Hall has served the local government and the community faithfully, and stands as a symbol of the City’s progress and history. City Hall was designed by Savannah architect Hyman W. Witcover and built by the Savannah Contracting Company during the administration of Mayor Herman Myers. It is a Renaissance Revival structure of granite and limestone exterior.
