Marlborough City Hall is the seat of city government of Marlborough, Massachusetts. It includes the offices of the mayor of Marlborough and the Marlborough City Council.[1] The current city hall building was built in 1905 by architects Allen, Collens and Berry and is an example of Beaux-Arts architecture.[2] It replaced an earlier building that burned down in 1902.[2] The building is part of the Marlborough Center Historic District.

Background

In 1902, Marlborough's Town Hall was destroyed by fire, prompting the city to build a new structure as its replacement.[2] The new building, built by architects Allen, Collens and Berry, was constructed with buff Roman brick and marble trim.[2]

Public transportation

MetroWest Regional Transit Authority (MWRTA) Route 7C (Inner City Marlborough) line runs roughly east–west through Marlborough. This route runs through the downtown Marlborough and connects multiple Shopping Complexes/Malls, residential localities and Marlborough Hospital.[3] Transfers can be made between routes 7 and 7C at the Marlborough City Hall stop.[4][5]
