Revere City Hall And Police Station
The city hall building was built at a time when Revere was still a town, and was first known as Town Hall; in addition to municipal offices, it initially also housed the public library. It was built on roughly the same site as Revere's first town hall, an 1835 Greek Revival structure destroyed by fire in 1897.
The cornerstone of the current building was placed on October 19, 1897. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge delivered an oration. The building was dedicated on January 11, 1899, this time with Lemuel K. Washburn delivering the oration.
Revere was reincorporated as a city in 1915. The former police station building served its original purpose for about 100 years, when the police were moved to new facilities on Revere Beach Parkway.
The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.
