Description
Boston's Old City Hall was an active government building housing the City Council from 1862 to 1969, when the new City Hall was built. It was one of the first buildings in the United States to be constructed in the Second Empire style. The Boston Latin School was previously on this site, operating from 1704 to 1748.
