I also took a trip down to Peabody City Hall. The City Hall was built in 1883 and is a Second Empire building. The City Hall is located in the Civic Center Historic District in Peabody which also hold St. John's church and other buildings that show the "civic heart" of Peabody. The Memorial's are for the soldiers that fought in the Wars and the giant white one is the Civil War monument which is in the heart of Peabody Square. I was not able to go inside the City Hall today since it is closed on Saturdays but in the basement there is a old jail cell which they use for storage now. Upstairs there are pictures of every mayor that Peabody has had.
