How Pasadena City Hall relates to Law, Justice and the Economy

Pasadena City Hall is a great example of civic architecture produced in the 1920's. It served as the seat of municipal government for Pasadena and also provided a large park and grounds surrounding the building. It's style and the timing of when it was built reflect some realities that were present at the time due to the local economy. The national economy also had impacts on communities like Pasadena, and no doubt influenced the style, scope, and timing of this complex construction.
