The former City Hall, designed by prominent local architect
R. Newell Waters, was built in 1928 at the corner of
Kansas Avenue and Fifth Street, where the original Community
House once stood. Actively used now as Fire Station
#2, the building displays Spanish colonial style detailing,
including an entry way adorned with intricate, cast stone
sculpture and an interior stairway decorated with colorful,
geometric Spanish tile. The Texas Historical Landmark
recorded this building in 1978.
The current City
Hall, conveniently located at the center point of town at
the intersection of Business 83 and Texas Boulevard/FM 88,
was acquired and remodeled in 2005. In addition to the
Legislative Chambers, it houses the administrative offices
for the Mayor, City Manager, City Secretary, and City
Attorney, as well as the departments of Finance, , Human
Resources, Information Technology, Planning & Code
Enforcement., and Purchasing.
