Puchalski Municipal Building (212 Main Street; 31D- 167 -001): The Municipal Building was built in 1930 and was used by the local gas company until the city took over the building. Along with daily school district and municipal operations that are housed on three floors, Council Chambers is continuously used for multiple governmental meetings and activities. City Hall (210 Main Street; 31D- 163 -001): Incorporating revival styles covering Gothic, Tudor and trademark Norman towers, City Hall was designed by the famous architect William Pratt and was built in 1850. Most recently remodeled in 1985 and in 1993, the building is used for municipal operations and numerous public meetings and presentations.

Central Services oversees approximately 30 city and school buildings and facilities. This department coordinates the use and operations of the city's multiple buildings, and is responsible for grounds, custodial, maintenance, energy consumption, renovations and construction for a wide array of building types and sizes. The bottom line in all the work that Central Services does is to preserve the city's physical assets, and ensure each building's integrity for municipal operations and community activities. Under this proposal, Central Services would implement projects covering the repair /replacement of exterior trim and surface materials, and the painting of exterior trim, siding and facades at City Hall, Memorial Hall and the Puchalski Municipal Building.

Also, for the last several years, funds have been sought, but not obtained, for such work through the capital planning process. Completing the work listed above under the CPA category of Historic Preservation would serve to address ongoing and deferred maintenance, contribute to the preservation of three unique buildings that are part of the city's historic district and are listed on the National Register of Historic Districts, and would assist with the preservation of Northampton's unique character.
