City
Hall,
dives
into
15
of
the
most
architecturally
unique
city
halls
in
America
including
those
whose
design
deviates
from
the
Greek-
and
Roman-inspired
style
of
neoclassical
architecture,
which
has
long
been
the
dominant
design
of
government
buildings.
It
explores
how
each
buildings
design
reflected
the
people
of
the
city
and
the
political
and
social
issues
at
the
time
of
construction,
as
well
as
the
evolution
of
civic
architecture
in
America.

In 88 photographs and stories of city halls around the country, from San Francisco to Philadelphia, in styles ranging from Art Deco to Beaux-Arts and beyond, Drooker connects architectural and municipal history with civic pride. -- The New York Times
Over the course of four years, Drooker traveled to around 40 of America's 300-plus city halls. Often spending days at each, he documented their grand exteriors, explored long-forgotten corners and spoke to local politicians and architects about how the institutions operate. The resulting images reveal a surprisingly rich variety of styles, from Flemish Renaissance Revival in Milwaukee to Art Deco in Saint Paul, Minnesota. -- CNN
