St. Louis City Hall was designed by architects Eckel & Mann, the winners of a national competition.[1] Construction began in July 1890 and completed in 1904. Its profile and stylistic characteristics evoke the French Renaissance Hôtel de Ville, Paris, with an elaborate interior decorated with marble and gold trim.

Continuously occupied by the city since its opening, the building houses the offices of the Mayor of St. Louis, the Board of Aldermen and the St. Louis Department of Public Safety. The majority of government meetings occur there, most of which are open to the public. It was designated a St. Louis City Landmark in 1971.[2]
