Syracuse City Hall was inspired, some say, by Albany’s City Hall. The Romanesque Revival landmark was completed in 1893. The mayor fired architect Charles Colton for refusing to install the city’s historic bell in the tower. Next year, after the bell was installed, voters fired the mayor. At the outbreak of WWII the bell was melted down for its brass; an electronic bell is now in its place.
