City Hall (1895-98). A fine example of Renaissance Revival style dedicated in 1898, fifty years after Worcester’s designation as a city. It was designed by Peabody and Stearns of Boston and built by Norcross Brothers Construction Company of Worcester in the manner of an Italian “palazzo” or palace for the people of the City of Worcester.

Before we had internet dating, we had the phone banks at City Hall. In the 60's, you could call the pay phones at City Hall to meet members of the opposite sex. All the teenagers would hang out there, and if a boy called, the person who answered the phone would hand it to the closest girl -- if a girl called, the phone would be handed to a boy. It's hard to believe in today's world, but we made a lot of good friends this way.
I too remember the phones.We use to hang there a lot .Everything was so convenient.All of the stores on Front St.Kresges across from City Hall.Trailways and Greyhound bus stations on the back side of city hall as well.They both had Great Burgers.I am glad that I was around Worcester in the 50's and 60's.They were some great years.breeze33776@yahoo.com
I was born and brought up in worcester. I remember well standing in front of city hall while waiting for the bus, coldest place in the winter. I certainly miss those days.
I was bornin Worcester,MS in 1933, went to school at Grafton St. Schooland junior high, graduated from St. Stephen's H.S class of 1950.Is there anyone still living who remembers me and my brother Paul?
