Early City Hall, Mar 2009 BradMandell The Irving Place building was once Rochester's City Hall. It was designed by Andrew Jackson, and was built using Lockport stone.
At the time this building was constructed, the Erie Canal ran through town where Broad Street now runs (the Subway runs in the old canal bed under this street). When it first went into operation, the Broad Street entrance of the building opened directly onto the canal as it passed the City Hall.
In the early 1970's it was bombed by Mafia members on Columbus Day in the infamous Columbus Day Bombings.
