City Hall from 1920's postcard

Welcome to Historic City Hall

         Historic City Hall is located at the southeast corner of Avenue A and U.S. 1 in downtown Fort Pierce. Built in 1925 by architect William Hatcher and builder C.E. Cahow, this elegant building is an example of the Mediterranean-style architecture. The building was used as Fort Pierce City Hall until 1983 and was renovated by St. Lucie Preservation Association in 1995. The second floor is the great room where city council sessions once were held and now can be rented out for parties, meetings and gatherings. The original Dade County Pine floors, unique arched windows and beautifully detailed ceilings create an "old Florida" ambiance for any special occasion.

The $500,000 restoration project was accomplished through the efforts of many Main Street Fort Pierce volunteers, architect Robert Terry, the City of Fort Pierce, R.K. Davis Construction and funding from the State of Florida Bureau of Historic Preservation.
