Peekskill City Hall

Peekskill’s government offices were located at this site after the Nelson family donated their residential house to the Village in 1898. William Nelson had served in the U.S. Congress (1848 to 1851) where he became friends with Abraham Lincoln and Daniel Webster. The current brick Municipal Building was designed by a Peekskill mayor and architect Ralph Hopkins and dedicated in 1936. Peekskill became an incorporated City in 1940. The Council Chamber, Mayor, City Manager offices and most city departments are located inside this municipal building.
