voters by referendum decided upon a $750,000 bond issue for the purpose of securing a site and
erecting a new building. For some reason no action was taken until 1928, at which time the old
High School for Boys was purchased at a cost of $510,000. The 1904 Beaux Arts building was
designed by the Philadelphia firm of Davis & Davis. The imposing granite facade was retained
during alterations. The refurbished City Hall was dedicated in 1929.
