Area 1
— City Hall and Visitors Center —
Standing prominently on the corner of Main Street and Park Avenue, Medina's landmark sandstone City Hall welcomes all who enter the village's Historic Downtown District. Over one hundred years later, Medina remains a village, but "City Hall" endures as an inspiration to Medina's resurgent synergy and a reminder of its important contribution to the archetectural heritage of the world. Built in 1908, Medina was surging ahead as a manufacturing community. Local officials sought to erect a new and proud building that would reflect Medina's rising position among Western New York's municipalities. The city fathers wisely selected architect J. B. McCreary of the noted Buffalo acrhitectural firm of McCreary, Wood, and and Bradney. The structure is built of handsome brown Medina Sandstone. The style is Richardson-Romanesque- the only ediface of this style in the Historic District. the building currently houses the Medina Visitors Center.HM Number | HM1HA7 |
