The Davao City Hall is a government building which houses the office of the Mayor of Davao City.
The Davao City Hall structure was built in 1926 when Davao City was still a municipality. Davao formally attained cityhood via Commonwealth Act No. 51 on October 16, 1936, during the presidency of Manuel L. Quezon.[1] Davao's inauguration as a city would be held on March 1, 1937.[2]
The Davao City Hall would be destroyed during World War II in 1945 but would be restored in 1947 based on its original design.[1]
In 2017, the wooden flooring and door which is a legacy of the 1926 structure was renovated. The flooring was replaced by concrete and steel.[3] [4]
The National Historical Commission of the Philippines recognizes the building as a historical site on November 17, 2012.[1]
