Bellingham City Hall (1939) is located at the north end of downtown.

This large rectangular, two-story building with distinct horizontal massing was constructed under the federal programs of the Great Depression.

It is an example of the sub-style of Art Deco that has come to be known as PWA Modern, characterized by Classical composition, piers without capitals or bases, vertical fenestration, smooth surfaces and Non-Classical decoration.

Its facade is symmetrical, with a centered, recessed entrance beneath three vertical strips of glass block.

The entrance, opening into the public lobby, is approached through a brick courtyard and a short flight of broad, but shallow, stairs intersected with two bronze hand rails. Above the entrance are three sculpted figures.
