Old Georgetown City Hall
historic place
The Old Georgetown City Hall, a historic two-story brick building, is located in Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood. It was constructed in 1909. Architect Victor W. Voorhees designed this structure as the civic center for the independent city of Georgetown. This building originally housed the police court, a jail, the fire department, and offices for the mayor, treasurer, and city council. It was the first building in Georgetown with hot and cold running water. A clock tower was added through public donations. Georgetown was annexed by Seattle in 1910. After annexation, the building continued to serve as a police and fire station. In the 1920s, it also hosted a baby clinic and a branch of the Seattle Public Library. The Old Georgetown City Hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It remains a tangible link to Georgetown's period as an independent city.
