Bay City Hall

Completed in 1897, the extraordinary Romanesque-style building that is home to Bay City's government, was almost destroyed in 1975 to make way for a more modern structure. After a $3.1 million restoration, City Hall is once again a fine example of the preservation efforts the community has become known for. The clock located in the tower offering spectacular views of Bay City was once powered by water from the Saginaw River and was frequently clogged by fish that became trapped in the mechanism. Open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and by request through the Bay County Historical Museum.
