The original City Hall, located on the corner of Main Street and Sixth Street South, burned in 1854. Today’s Georgia Revival style City Hall was built in 1903. In order to preserve Columbus’ rich heritage and history, City Hall underwent a complete restoration in 2017, for which it received a rehabilitation award from the Mississippi Heritage Trust in 2018. The smaller building extending to the left was, at one time, used as a jail but currently houses a conference room used by the Mayor and City Council.
