Harrisburg has been an important American
city since the early 1800s, especially since becoming Pennsylvania's state
capitol in 1812. Imagine in those days a picturesque setting along the
shores of the Susquehanna River, where pioneer outposts and ferry crossings
served as the backdrop for the many state buildings and courthouses that
were cropping up in Harrisburg's downtown.
Over the years Harrisburg developed as a city of diverse neighborhoods,
each with its own illustrious heritage and culture, and that defining
characteristic remains even to this day. In the early 1900s, as the downtown
area grew, many grand buildings were constructed to serve the growing
needs of the community, as well as local and state governments. One of those impressive
new structures, a cut-stone building, was designed in 1910 by prominent
architect, Charles Lloyd, to serve as Tech High School. By 1928, a new
occupant took over the building, Harrisburg's city government, and many
dramatic changes were made to make the interior as imposing as the facade.
A grand staircase in the lobby, offset by oak paneling, marble and brass
accents and a cast plaster ceiling were a few of the unique architectural
details that made this building at 423 Walnut Street a certifiable landmark.
In 1982 the building was given new life when Historic Landmarks For Living
transformed it into a luxury loft apartment building. While great care
was taken to preserve the original architectural details, a host of contemporary
amenities were added to make Old City Hall the most distinguished- and
distinctive- residential building in Harrisburg. Between the quality of
the restoration and the unbeatable advantages of the location, our residents
enjoy the best of all worlds.
If you're looking for small-town ambiance and big city convenience, Harrisburg
is the place and Old City Hall is the perfect address.
