The first City Hall building was located on Newark Avenue and Cooper Place (lower left) while the 1896 structure occupied the entire city block bounded by Montgomery, Grove, Mercer, and Henderson Streets (upper left). The map reveals the many homes and businesses that once stood on that block prior to the construction of the new City Hall.
