Lead's earliest city hall was located in the old business district, an area that was eventually lost due to ground subsidence. A new City Hall had then been constructed in 1912 on the corner of Main and Siever Streets and served the community until 1937.
The present City Hall, located on the site of the Alert Hose Company's Hose House at the corner of Main and Alert Streets, was built as a Works Progress Administration project. The new building allowed the city to consolidate the various offices, a courtroom, and the fire department under one roof.
The Masonic Temple adjoining City Hall had been constructed a few years earlier, in 1933. The Masons had been forced to move to the new temple from a building on Main Street due to surface slippage caused by mining. The ground floor houses the Masonic lodge quarters, while the upper level features a balcony and the Masonic Library. (Dedicated February 4, 1933)
