Located in Newton Centre, Newton City Hall is home to many public offices as well as a meeting location for Newton's boards and commissions, including the 24-member Board of Aldermen.
The city clerk, assessor, comptroller and election commission are located in City Hall, as are the offices of engineering, inspectional services, public works and veterans' services. The office of Mayor Setti D. Warren is on the second floor of the historic building.
Built in 1932, Newton City Hall is also the home of the city's war memorial. Plaques, uniforms, flags, documents and other memorabilia can be found on display on the first floor of the building.
City Hall Pond sits just in front of the building, which includes a small walking area and benches.
Newton City Hall is just over a mile from the Newton Centre MBTA stop (green line, d branch) and the Newtonville Commuter Rail station (purple line, Framingham/Worcester line). The #59 MBTA bus also stops nearby at the intersection of Chestnut Street and Commonwealth Ave.
