\"Holyoke<\/center><\/p>\n

The City Hall of Holyoke<\/a>, located at the corner of Dwight and High Streets (536 Dwight Street), was built in 1871-1876. It was planned as the Town Hall<\/a>, but Holyoke had become a city by the time it was completed. It was built with granite quarried in Monson. The building<\/a> was designed by Charles B. Atwood<\/a>, who utilized elements of the Gothic and Romanesque Revival styles. During construction, Because Atwood<\/a> was not delivering updated drawings in a timely manner, the design work was turned over to H.F. Kilburn<\/a> in 1874. An annex in the same style was completed in 1913. The building<\/a> has a second-floor auditorium, called the City Hall Ballroom, that features thirteen stained glass windows<\/a> designed by Samuel West of the Ecclesiastical Stained Glass Works in Boston. In recent years the painted antique glass windows had fallen into disrepair<\/a>. A campaign was organized that raised funds<\/a> and the windows<\/a> were restored<\/a> last year. Other restoration work has also been done on the building’s exterior<\/a> and interior<\/a>. <\/p>\n
