City Hall
Seen here as it appeared in 1890, City Hall is the heart of Oswego City
Government; nearly all government offices are located within its walls. Designed
by well known central New-York architect Horatio
N. White, the building was constructed of Onondoga limestone in 1870. Notice
the slate mansard roof and central clocktower, which accentuates the building's
height. The building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, underwent
a multi-million dollar restoration in 1980 to add an elevator, expand office space
and return the exterior to its original appearance. In 1991, a Civic
Plaza was constructed which further beautified City Hall's downtown site.
