OLD HALL
TOWER RESTORED
Councilman Ross Points Out That Beauty of
Colonial Structure is Marred and Building
Made Unsafe by Present Tower

City Councilman Howard D. Ross.
having in mind the restoration Of the
City Hall tower to its original colonial
design, presented letter to city Coun-
Gil last night on the subject and after
its reading the communication was
referred to the finance and public
building committees Of that body. The
letter follows:
Il desire earnestly to have you con-
slider the advisability Of having the
tower of the city Hall restored to the
original colonial design. The original
tower is described in the History of
Wilmington as follows:
THE present City Hall was built in
1898, the architect being Peter Bauduy.
The original walls are still IN the build
ing. but its general features have been
materially changed by the removal OF
the old tower. which was a fine spcci-
men Of architecture, graceful in its
lines and resting to the eye--to give
room for the present tower, which dis
figures the building.
Later on we find this description: In
writing of Wilmington's public buildings
it is not improper to mention again the
City Hall, as, next 10 Old Swedes Church.
Vt is the most notable for its architecture
among the newer buildings. The old
church was certainly conceived with a
thought Of Gothic architecture in the
mind Of the Rev. Eric Biork its architect.
But the city Hall appears TO be strictly
Colonial. The architect, Peter Bauduy,
seems to have attempted an Improvement
on the architecture of the Philadelphia
State House. He succeeded; he raised its
floor much higher above the pavement
and thus made Il more imposing edifice.
He also impressed his idea of architecture
upon the town. The rectangular shape,
steep-roof, observatory, and balustrade.
and the marble ornaments Of the front
elevation Of the City Hall. had many iml-
tators. The present cupalo Of the hall Is
a modern creation, erected as a fre-tower
about 1870"
We note that the present tower was
built as an outlook for the purpose OF
discovering a fire in any part Of the city
and sounding an alarm. Since the intro

duction of tho present Gamewcll Fire
Alarm System the tower Is no longer need
ed as an outlook, but a striker can be in
stalled in the original design. The present
tower has been considered unsafe for some
time past and at every striking Of an
alarm tho whole building IS Jared Re-
Gently the striker fell from its position in
the tower and might az some future dime
cause destruction TO life and property.
But because also OF its history which
endears itself to the ciizcns Of Whining
ton do 1 plead for the preservation Of tho
building ana its early restoration with the
former tower Of Colonial design. Tho
building has served many memorable oo-
casions II was formerly used FOR political
gatherings and public town meetings and
for holding public entertainments. In 1924
a banquet was rendered General Lafay-
cite one Of Washington's generals. in the
Town Hall, and in 1929 a banquet WIS also
rendered Louis McLane before his de-
parture for Europe as Minister 10 Eng

OF state in President Jacks)ns Cabinet.

States. was one Of the special guests n

tho First Delaware Regiment We're
brought TO Wilmington from the battle
field Of Anuetam and lay ia state in the
City Hail. The body Of General Thomas
A. Smith, who enlisted from this city and
was killed. was given similar honor.
History would reveal many other happen
ings and associations that endear them
selves 20 our people and I hope that we
may keep the City Hall as monument
to the memorable past and restore Il to
its former beauty.
81 would therefore ask that this Coun-
ell provide for the restoration OF tho
former tower in making up its approprla-
tions for the next fiscal year and that the
Mayor and Public Buildings and Finance
Committees be requested TO inquire into
the cost Of the work and report back to
City Council.
Very respectfully.
