Hayward Examines Preservation and Future Use of Historic City Hall
Community members and city officials are reviewing options to preserve the vacant 1930 Art Deco City Hall.

Local discussions have resurfaced regarding the future of Hayward's historic 1930 City Hall building, located on a two-acre parcel across from the Downtown Library. The Art Deco landmark has remained unoccupied for decades despite its prominent downtown location.
Following recent security upgrades and repair work funded by the city, officials and residents continue to weigh options ranging from historic preservation and building retrofits to potential site redevelopment.
