1930, Robert J. Moor. 103 W. Church St.
The city hall moved from its residential-scaled quarters at 103 E. Market Street to this courthouse-sized building in 1930. Moor, who trained at the Art Institute of Chicago, worked briefly for Frank R. McGeoy in Greenwood before opening his own practice in 1925. His design, a central block flanked by lower wings, reveals a Moderne emphasis on planar surfaces and simple stylized ornamentation. Classical terra-cotta anthemia and medallions accent the textured, variegated yellow brick facade, while the chamfered corners add a prismatic effect to the composition. The fire station is at the rear, opening onto Main Street.
