Caption: Marker detail: City Hall
Additional Description: City Hall, built as a market hall in 1845, became Syracuse's first City Hall in 1848 and a gathering place for reformers. In May 1851, U.S. Secretary of State Daniel Webster, speaking from the Courier Building, accused the people of Syracuse, gathered in front of City Hall, of treason if they refused to obey the Fugitive Slave Law. In 1892, this building was replaced by the current City Hall, designed by architect Charles E. Colton.
