Carbondale City Hall

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this Romanesque Revival style structure was built in 1892-1894.
Truman I. Lacey designed the building around the original two-story structure in the rear by changing the roof, adding the three-story wing and incorporating the signature clock tower. Today the building houses city government offices, a local radio station, the Carbondale Historical Society & Museum, and the Carbondale Police Department.
