Norwood Municipal Building

The Norwood Municipal Building, also known as Norwood City Hall, is a historic government building at 4645 Montgomery Road in Norwood, Ohio. The building was constructed in 1914-16 on the site of Norwood's first city hall, which was built in 1881. Cincinnati-based architecture firm Weber, Werner & Adkins designed the building in the Second Renaissance Revival style. The building has a gray brick exterior with limestone details; its symmetrical design includes a row of six Ionic columns across the front facade, brick quoins at its corners, a cornice adorned with modillions below the attic, and a tiled hip roof. The building's interior, which was restored in the 1970s, includes neoclassical elements such as Doric columns and egg-and-dart moldings.[2]
