The building is the city's second city hall. The architectural firm of Harry E. Boyle and Co. designed the building in the Classical Revival style. The city hall's entrance is covered by a portico extending from the roof; the portico is supported by four large brick columns spanning the height of the building. A band of white concrete encircles the top of the building. The building continues to house Harrisburg's city government; it also includes several local history displays for visitors.
