The eclectic Victorian Romanesque Revival building was constructed in 1897. The building was designed by architect Enoch A. Curtis of Fredonia, New York.[2] Curtis was also in charge of the building's reconstruction in 1902 after a devastating fire.[3] The 68-by-90-foot (21 by 27 m) brick building features a four-story, 100 feet (30 m) clock tower that houses a four-dialed clock created by Seth Thomas around 1910.[4]

The building no longer functions as city hall, but remains home to some city government offices. The building is also located in a Keystone Opportunity Zone (KOZ).[5]
