Aurora City Hall

Welcome to the Aurora City Hall, stop #5 on our tour! This impressive building was constructed in two phases by architects Louis Kreite and the McDonald Brothers. The earlier section (1870) is a two-story, Italianate style brick and stone building. It was purchased in 1882 to house the fire department. The later section (1887) was meant to serve as City Hall. It was built in a Romanesque Revival style with a gable front. Both styles (Romanesque and Italianate) are characteristic of the Late Victorian buildings. The two buildings weren’t connected until 1970. The whole site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 14th, 1996. Currently, this building houses the Lawrenceburg fire station and city hall.
