The City Hall of Moscow, Idaho, formerly known as the Moscow Post Office and Courthouse and Moscow Federal Building, was built 113 years ago in 1911.^[2] Its red brick with ivory terracotta trim reflects Late Victorian and Eclectic architecture.^[3][4]

As a federal building, it served historically as a post office and a courthouse of the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973,^[1] it was vacated in 1974 when the new federal building opened two blocks south.^[5][6] Two years later, it was acquired by the city from the General Services Administration for $70,000,^[7][8] with half of that funded from the state historical society. At the time, the land alone was valued at $100,000.^[9]

Rejected for use as a library in 1979,^[10] it became a community center in the early 1980s.^{[11][12][13][14]}

A bond issue to fund a renovation was defeated in late 1986,^[15] it became the city hall of the municipality in the 1990s.^[16][17]
