City Hall of Marine City was built in 1884 designed by the firm of George Dewitt Mason and Zachariah Rice, Detroit. Mason, principal designer, chose to reflect a style popularized by the Boston architect Henry Hobson Richardson and now known as Richardson Romanesque. Mason's career spanned over 50 years and earned him the title "Dean of Detroit Architects".
His iconic works include Grand Hotel, Mackinac Is. 1887;
First Presbyterian Church, Woodward, Detroit, 1896;
Hiram Walker Bldg. Windsor, 1896;
Masonic Temple, Detroit, 1922;
Detroit Yacht Club, 1923.
City Hall was placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior in 1982. The Heritage Square Historic District was established by the Marine City Commission in 2008 and protected by Historic District Ordinance in 2014.
