It usually houses the city or town council, its associated departments, and their employees. It also usually functions as the base of the mayor of a city, town, borough, county or shire, and of the executive arm of the municipality (if one exists distinctly from the council). By convention, until the middle of the 19th century, a single large open chamber (or "hall") formed an integral part of the building housing the council.

The terms "council chambers", "municipal building" or variants may be used locally in preference ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
