1. City Hall Marker

Inscription. The Clayton City Hall was designed by the architecture firm Maritz and Young. Prior to its construction, city business was conducted in the Old Courthouse on Forsyth. Clayton's Board of Aldermen called a special election in 1930 in order to pass a $72,000 bond issue to purchase this site for a permanent city hall. The Clayton City Hall was renovated in 2004 and rededicated in 2005.

Erected by Clayton Community Foundation.
