Old City Hall

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 it was transformed 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.
