Jackson City Hall, located in Jackson, Mississippi, is the seat of municipal government.

History

Originally constructed in 1846-47 at a cost of $8,000, the building was either enlarged or rebuilt in 1853-54 because of structural problems.[2]

During the American Civil War, the building was used as a hospital and was left standing by Federal troops despite heavy damage inflicted on other buildings throughout Jackson.[3] Speculation was that General Sherman, a Freemason, spared the building because it housed a Masonic Lodge, though a more likely reason is that it housed an army hospital.[4]

The building underwent extensive renovation in 1963-64,[3] which was undertaken by architect Frank P. Gates.[5]
