City Hall
This has to be one of the most impressive buildings in the city. The dome is the 5th largest in the world and rises 301 feet above the street, higher than the capitol in Washington D.C. It is built in the Beaux Arts style (French for 'Fine Arts') and was inspired by the gilded dome and spire of Les Invalides in Paris. They sure don't build them like they used to!

City Hall
The first City Hall was completely flattened during the 1906 earthquake. The current building was then badly damaged during the 1989 earthquake and cost $300 million to fix. To prevent future earthquake damage, the whole building was detached from its foundations and now rests on 600 rubber and steel isolators. Shake, rattle and roll!
