Back in the day when the clock in the tower was powered by weights and pullies, somebody would have to climb these stairs in one of the towers to crank the weights back up.
A mysterious eagle on what looks like a cupola is forgotten and wedged into a corner on the 4th floor.
A mysterious eagle on what looks like a cupola is forgotten and wedged into a corner on the 4th floor.

The once polished staircase to the balcony is now dusty and peeling.
Lewiston Public Library across the street from City Hall can be seen through one of the windows in the left tower through a plywood stencil of the same pattern as the original window that was replaced.
Wires still hang from the ceiling that once held up the first ceiling for the offices on the third floor. A new, permenant ceiling has been more recently installed, still leaving 20 feet below the tin ceilings of the former dance hall.

One of the ornate support beams that once stood proud is now hidden above a drop ceiling.
