caption_attribution_description: English: Dedication document for New Haven Hall of Records
context_page_description: The Kennedy Mitchell Hall of Records is located in New Haven, Connecticut and houses many of the City of New Haven's governmental functions, including finance, vital statistics, offices of the town clerk, and public hearing rooms where city policy is debated.
context_section_description: The Hall of Records, built in 1929, was intended to be part of a larger complex of government buildings; an uncompleted end wall can be seen that was to attach it to others in the complex. Its neoclassical style differs sharply from the late-19th-century urban buildings surrounding it at the time of its construction, and from those that now neighbor it. Other New Haven landmarks built in the same architectural style include the Connecticut Savings Bank on Church Street, the former Church Street post office, and the Elm Street county courthouse.
