• Named halls, blocks and other buildings labeled on Sanborn maps
  

• Halls and meeting rooms pages

• Mulhearn building on south Centre St.
• A conversation about steeples on the Washington Hotel and the Borough Building
  

In the 1921-1922 city directory there was a listing of "Halls, Buildings and Blocks", and the 1928-1929 directory had some additional named buildings listed. Some of these buildings can still be readily identified because their names were carved into them and can still be seen, often near the tops of the buildings. In other cases, identification is more difficult, and in some cases the buildings are no longer there.

Eventually there will be more information on this page regarding these buildings and others, the purposes for which they were used, and the people or organizations for which they were named. Meanwhile, if you know of others that should be added to this list, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know about them. Thanks.
