McLevy Hall

McLevy Hall is a historic municipal building at 202 State Street in downtown Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Bridgeport's offer to pay for the building of a courthouse and jail decided the matter.

Bridgeport City Hall was constructed in 1853-54 between State and Bank Streets and cost $75,000.

Alexander Jackson Davis designed it in the Greek Revival style to resemble a temple.

Lincoln received a standing ovation before taking the 9:07 p.m. train that night back to Manhattan.
