Old City Hall

For more than 120 years, Boston's leaders met here. Today, Old City Hall houses modern office space and a restaurant on School Street in Boston.

Old City Hall is one of the first examples of adaptive reuse. In the 1960's the concept of recycling outdated public buildings was untried. The successful conversion (1969-1971) of Boston's City Hall into a restaurant and first class office building heralded the beginning of this new concept. It was widely publicized by the American Institute of Architects and became a model of successful redevelo

pment for underutilized municipal property. Old City Hall became an example, stimulating the reuse of landmark buildings across the United States in the 1970's and 1980's, and this pioneer rehabilitation continues to win recognition. For pioneering work in adaptive reuse and development through preservation, Old City Hall has received recognition from the Boston Society of Architects, the American Institute of Architects, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation, among others.
