is a free-standing block facing west toward Dale Avenue, a street just opened in the late 1860's when the building was erected. A secondary front faces south onto Warren Street. Situated on one of the highest points in the city, overlookingGloucester harbor to the south, City Hall and especially its main tower were obviously designed to take advantage of this topographical feature. Neighboring buildings are wide-spaced, separated by grass, some trees, and landscaped parking lots. To the north of the Hall, beyond a strip of parking, stands the late Neo-Grec granite bulk of William Aldrich and William Chester Chase's U.S. Post Office (cornerstone dated 1932). Across Dale Avenue to the west is the (now empty) Central Grammar School, built in the 1880's and added to in the 1920's. It forms a complimentary solid red-brick and granite trim wall opposite the Hall.

To the south of the schoo1, beyond a tree-shaded lot soon to be occupied with its addition, is the white clapboard box containing the Sawyer Free Library. Across Warren Street are assorted white frame buildings, former dwellings converted to commercial uses. To the east of City Hall is a parking lot. Across Pleasant Street is the handsome Federal style Captain Davis House and the adjacent Cape Ann Historical Association's new white brick museum büilding. City Hall dominates an area of civic activity whose preservation and controlled future development are of critical importance to the life of the city. The building rises from a rectangular plan. On the exterior the basement projects some five feet above grade, exposing several course of rock-faced, dressed-édge granite blocks. Granite is a local building stone that was just beginning to be exploited commercially after the Civil War.

Exterior materials are red pressed brick for the walls, painted wood and limestone for trim, The walls of brick, laid up with minimum joints and without headers, are set in a series of rectangular shallow panels, except at the corners of theupper story where there are decorative quoins. The long elevations are marked by seven regularly spaced windows; short elevations are four bays wide with the central two bays paired. Each elevation is articulated by corner pavilions of shallow projection and a central emphasis. Each is divided into a basement, a first floor divided from the second by a limestone beltcourse, a taller second story capped by a bracketed wood cornice, and high blue slate and copper trim roofs. The windows of the first story are segmental with pronounced keystones, imposts, and archivolts. The sash through out is of painted wood.

The windows of the upperfloor are round-headed, with granite archivolts, pronounced keys, and imposts that continue as a beltcourse at the level of the springing of the arches. The Warren Street entrance is marked by a break-front, trabeated porch set on unfluted Ionic columns and pilasters, all of painted.wood. It is crowned by a wooden balustrade. The porch on the Dale Avenue front is simpler: it lacks the break-front and so has fewer columns. It gives access to the main entrance at the base UCTIONS Form 10-300a UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR (July 1969) NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM STATE Massachusetts COUNTY Essex (Continuation Sheet) FOR NPS USE ONLY ENTRY NUMBER MAY 8 1973 DATE (Number all entries) 7. Physical Desc. (cont) City Hall, Gloucester of the tower.

Above the entrance is the lapidary announcement that the building was ERECTED A.D. 1870. The main feature of the Dale Avenue front, and indeed d the Gloucester skyline, is the central tower. It has been depicted as the focus of views of the sea city by major American painters such as Winslow Homer, Frank Duveneck, John Sloan, and others. It stands on a square plan outside the rectangle of the main building. It thus projects boldly from the central bay of the west (Dale Avenue) front. Its lower two stories are of brick and articulated like the main block of the building, however above the level of the bracketed cornice painted wood replaces the brick fabric.

Above the hip roof of the main block and the pyramidal roofs of the lower corner pavilions it rises in three tiers of round-arched openings, triangular pediments, balustrades, and a clock face, all capped by a high- peaked copper roof punctuated with a circular lucarne on each of four faces. The weather vane at the top is the highest man-made point in the The roofs of the corner pavilions are minor echoes of the main tower: pyramids pierced with lunette dormers and surmounted by rectangular lanterns of wood with round-arched openings, terminating in pyramidal roofs and (originally) decorative iron crestings.. The basement is a strictly utilitarian level with rooms off a central corridor running north and south.

The first floor, elevated above street level and reached by high flights of granite steps from both Dale and Warren Streets, has a corridor of three branches, running from entrances in the center of the north, west, and south sides and meeting in a central hall. The angles are occupied by offices. The second and third floors, articulated as one tall story on the exterior, are reached by imperial stairs at the west and south entrances, and an ancillary stair on the north. The second floor is mainly given over to a two story, galleried hall now used as the council chamber. The building is well-preserved, although the ornamental iron ridge crestings have been lost. There has been some modernization of the interior, some make-shift offices built into the second floor hall, and new entrance doors of metal and glass have been installed.

Statement of significance

city Hall has been the seat of government of the Town and City of Gloucester for over 100 years. It is physically, historically, and architecturally one of the most important buildings on Cape Ann. The building was designed by Gridley James Fox Bryant (1816-1899) and Louis P. Rogers. Little is known about the latter but the former was if not the most important, then the most prolific architect in New England in the middle of the nineteenth century. From an incredibly long list of works it is sufficient to cite just three: Boston's Charles Street Jail (extant)and Old City Hall (extant), and the City Hall of Lynn (demolished). Gloucester City Hall was dedicated June 2, 1871, as the town's third seat of government.

It can be described as a combination of Italian Renaissance and French Second Empire.\ The rectangular, axial plan, corner pavilions, and classical detail all come out of the French academic tradition. The Italian Renaissance is evidenced by the bracketed cornices, quoins, and arched window details. City Hall is a well-preserved, outstanding example of a dominant civic monument of the 19th century, of the work of Bryant and his partner of the moment, Louis Rogers, and of the mingling of imported architectural stylés so common in this country following the Civil War. Three associated works should be mentioned. The clock and bell in the main tower are original, the gift to the town of Samuel Sawyer, one of Gloucester's chief benefactors. The city hall lot is ornamented by a fine Civil war monument whose designer and/or sculptor is at the moment unknown.

The monument is a bronze female figure wearing armor and holding a sword and open manacles, elevated on a high granite pedestal. It was installed in 1879. Within the building are murals executed in the late 1930's and early 40's by Charles Allen Winter. They range in subject from fishing scenes to portraits of contemporary city officials and allegories of civic government. 3) 15, APp RECEIVED 19/3 NATIONAL REGISTE.

() Mr William Murtaugh Keeper of the National Register National Park Service U S Dept of Interior 801 19th St NW Room 616 Washington DC 20006 Dear Bill You will soon have on your desk an application for registery status for Gloucester City Hall, 1869-71 by Gridley James Fox Bryant and Iouis Rogers, a fine example of the merger in this _country after the Civil Was of English Victorian and French Second Empire styles. The work of one of the most prominent architects in New England, City Hall has been the focus of the pol- itical life of this fishing town for over a century. There is no doabt that City Hall rates recogni- tion and inclusion in the National Register. It would be pleasant if it could receive that distinction this year, the 350th anniversary, of the first settlement of the place and the 100th anniversary of its incorpora- tion as a city.

Gloucester City Hall looms prominently above the city's skyline in a series of landscape views by major American artists including Winslow Homer, John Sloan, John Iwachtman, #rank Duveneck, William Morris Hunt. and others. Ihis Cape Ann Historical Association wilJ this summer (25 July to 5 September) hold an exhibition of the local works of these men entitled PORTRAIT OF A PLACE: SOME AMERICAN LANDSCAPE PAINTERS IN GLOUCESTER. If you're in the area don't miss it. Let me know when you are coming and I'll roll out the red carpet. I would appreciate it if you would goose the City Hall application along- Cordially, James F O'Gorman 20 April 1973 JAMES F.

Amadon Re: Request for recording of Gloucester City Hall in the National Register Dear Mrs. Amadon: The Gloucester Historical Commission, at its regular monthly meeting on 3 April, 1973, instructed me to communicate to the Massachusetts His- torical Commission its desires that your office exercise all due dispatch in accomplishing the task of having Gloucester's City Hall placed in the National Register. Because of the rather swift nature that events occur in this day and age, and because Gloucester is, this year, celebrating its 350th Anni- versary, the Commission would feel greatly relieved if it knew that one of Gloucester's finest pieces of period architecture was preserved for posterity.

We feel that the existing favorable mood of the City and the present opportunity for accomplishing the listing in the National Register bodes well for the Commission. We do, therefore, again request that this project be moved forward at early date. yours very tpuly, Kates, Julian Hatch, Chairman Gloucester Historical Commission JH:eli RECElVED NATIONAL REGISTER 12 0II/16118 Johen F.
