David Yuengling opened his Eagle brewery here in 1829 but it was completely destroyed by fire after only two years of operation. He moved up to Mahantongo Street, where operations continue today. The City Hall was a Depression-era Works Progress Administration project and the sleek Art Deco building opened in 1937. The government moved here from a cozy two-story building at 14 North Third Street.
