City Hall, one of Greenwood's finest historic structures, was built in 1902. It houses the municipal offices, open on weekdays, with City staff offering friendly assistance.
Designed by architect George Dillon Curtis, City Hall was originally built as a provincial government office and courthouse. The building once housed the gold commissioner's office, the chief of police and the mining recorder, and served as the county and Supreme Court. The City of Greenwood purchased the building from the province in 1953 for its City Hall.
