History
The Federation Building was the first building built in the city. It was originally a three-room hut (one room for the council, one for the administrators, and one for legal matters) and stayed that way for the first couple hundred years of its existence as the city's population was building up the first, second, and bay districts of the new grown city. In 1701, construction started on the building, where as more room was needed, another room was haphazardly added to the structure. This practice continued for the next 165 years until 1866 when head councilman DePaul Crimi got tired of getting lost between his office and the town hall, and decreed that the building should be torn down and rebuilt with a purposeful and logical layout. It took 17 years to construct, in which the various government processes that the building once held all operated out of different rented buildings all over the city. The building stands in the same way to this day.
