CITY OF HOMESTEAD: Old City Hall (also known as Historic Homestead Town Hall Museum)

City Of Homestead issued the following announcement on July 23.

Fun Fact Friday: Old City Hall (also known as Historic Homestead Town Hall Museum) was designed by Miami architect H. Hastings Mundy and built in 1917. 

The building housed the city fire department and its two fire engines, the police station and jail cells on the first floor. The second story held the city clerk’s office, municipal offices, the mayor’s office and the city council chambers, which doubled as a courtroom. 

The small one-story addition to the south, at 41 N. Krome Ave., now used as an entrance to the museum, was added in 1924 as offices for the County Agricultural Agent and the Redland District Chamber of Commerce.
