Historic Manti City Hall

191 North Main

this classic early Italianate building designed by A.E. Merriam was built between 1873 and 1882 as the city could afford it.  The final cost was $1,100.  The building housed the Manti city offices and city Council continually until 1985, after which it gradually fell into disuse.  In 2002 an army of local volunteers, headed by Vern Buchanan, began restoration work.  Interior restoration was completed several years later.  Soon afterwards, plaster was removed from the exterior of the building, exposing the original stonework which was repaired and re-pointed.  

Today, a visitors center and small museum are located in the main floor, with a large social hall upstairs.  For accessibility, an elevator was added to the rear off the  building.
