Hall, is a historic market building located at Oswego in Oswego County, New York. It was built in 1835 and is a massive brick and stone structure overlooking the Oswego River. The structure originally housed several government entites including city hall. A new city hall was contructed in 1870 and completed in 1872.[2] A section of the basement is believed to have been used as a jail. In 1864 the city sold it to the Oswego and Syracuse Railroad, that used it for the next 80 years as office and storage space. The railroad upgraded the building with a bracketed cornice and elaborate cupola.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1] The structure is privately owned, and a bar located on the north-most section of the first floor, named "Old City Hall" has been there for many years.
