The Galveston City Hall is located at 823 Rosenberg Avenue.

The French Renaissance-style building reserved the ground floor for the market stalls, with the top two floors for municipal offices.

The building was flanked on the east and west by its staircases and supported by Ionic columns to the north, which were covered by a portico.

The architecture firm of C. D. Hill & Company also designed a city hall for Dallas, employed Italian forms for its palazzo-type structure and its portico.

Originally designed with a civic auditorium attached, it was replaced by a fire station after Hurricane Carla.
