Bartlesville’s second City Hall was built at the northwest corner of 4th Street and Dewey Avenue, housing city offices, the fire department, and the Chamber of Commerce. This location served as City Hall from 1910 to 1923. The building was a magnificent three-story building with towers on each of the four corners. The entrance to the building faced south in the center with a curved archway. There were bays on the west end for the Fire Department. This former City Hall building burned down in the late 1970's. In 1923, the city offices were moved to the new Civic Center at 7th Street and Johnstone Avenue (See Site 64). In 1977, the City purchased the Church of Christ building at the southeast corner of 6th Street and Dewey Avenue (today's location of the "66" sculpture) for use as the city offices until 2000. In 2000, Phillips Petroleum gave the city possession of the old Maire Hotel, which had been used as an annex to Phillips' offices. The building was renovated for the city offices, with the fifth floor housing the Bartlesville Area History Museum (See Site 62).
