Greenville City Hall in Greenville, Alabama, United States, is a historic city hall. The building was designed by Montgomery architect Moreland G. Smith, and built in 1936–37 by workers from the Works Progress Administration. The building is designed in a Colonial Revival style with Palladian influences, a popular style in the 1930s due to the recent restoration of Colonial Williamsburg. It was built on the site of a grammar school that was originally built in the 1890s, but burned in the early 1920s and again in 1927. The building is constructed of brick, with a full-height portico around the main entry. Each window on the first floor is topped with an ashlar keystone. The corners of the main block are adorned with stone quoins.[1] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
