The Bay City Hall is a Richardsonian Romanesque building constructed of Indiana limestone, sandstone, and granite, measuring approximately 120 feet by 200 feet. The multi-gabled roof is tiled, and a large sandstone tower, nearly 180 feet high, is located at the southeast corner. The tower is topped with a gable roof with spires, and contains a large clock with separate dial faces on each of its four sides.
In 1892, local architects Leverett A. Pratt and Walter Koeppe were hired to design the structure, and the cornerstone was lain in 1894.[3] The building was completed by the summer of 1897 at a cost of $175,000.
