First building used as City Hall. (The very first City Hall offices were located in the Oakwood Hotel and next in the McCoy Building.) This apparently was known as the A.W. Hibbard Building (see Eberly, p. 69) and was used for only about two years; June 1914 to April 1916. It was on First Street at LaPorte. Sign on left above window reads: Standard Oil Co. Scrip Accepted. Back of photo reads, "first City Hall, 1913, Walter and Nell Schrader. Mr. Schrader converted old City Hall into garage." Arcadia Garage building shown with a car/truck "for sale" and a little boy posing by the back tire.
Looking west on Huntington Drive from intersection at First Avenue. Corner of City Hall shows on right side of photo. Two people standing are: George Ackerman, City Treasurer; and Louis Altona Building inspector. Building on north side of Huntington Drive with square tower, is Community Presbyterian Church. Service station is opposite City Hall. Part of panorama, ID#s 916-921.
View looking north from intersection of Huntington Drive and First Avenue. Old City Hall is on the NW corner with quite a bit of ivy growing on the walls. There is a Standard Oil gas station on the SE corner. There is a stop sign in the middle of First Avenue.
Three prints of Arcadia's city hall, two of which are taken from slightly different angles but apparently on the same day. There are two copies of one of the photos. Originally built in 1918, it was on the NW corner of Huntington Drive and First Avenue. A photo from a similar angle in 1924 shows ivy growing all the way to the roof. In these photos, the ivy is half way up the outer wall. In one of the prints, a car is seen just entering the photo from the right.
Architectural drawings and the design for the new Arcadia City Hall have drawn criticism from the City Council. The new City Hall building is estimated to cost $11 million.
View of Santa Anita Race Track from the parking lot, looking toward the front entrance. View includes hundreds of 1930's era automobiles in parking lot, all facing front. Tree on left of photo.
View east on Huntington Drive from intersection of Santa Anita Avenue and Huntington Drive. Community Church on NE corner was moved in 1934 to S. First Street and became Arcadia Presbyterian Church. Two storied building on NW corner was City Hall. Large sign on south side may say: Arcadia Pharmacy.
