Description
1892 Old Key West City Hall Entrance
In 1876 the Key West Old City Hall was a wood framed building that suffered a massive and destructive fire in 1886. It took about 5 years to construct the wooden city hall structure and in a matter of minutes it was gone.
The current Old Key West City Hall was constructed of brick this time and the construction time frame was from 1890 to 1892 when it was finished and opened for business. The bricks used to build this structure all had to be brought into Key West by boat. Located on Greene Street, just a few steps away from Duval Street is where you will find the Old City Hall with its granite stairs and a set of carefully crafted iron gates at its entrance.
