The design of the central wing and tower derives, whether consciously or not, from the Nebraska State Capitol, an influential building, designed by architect Bertram Goodhue in 1920, and completed in 1932.
The main block is flanked by two wings, faced in brick, with pitched roofs, each six bays wide and three stories high (plus a basement level), which house the Pawtucket City Hall offices. The two principal wings each extend to secondary projecting wings that are two stories high, faced in brick, with flat roofs giving them a more utilitarian character. The north wing houses the central fire station, while the south wing houses the police department headquarters.[2]
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[3] In 1999, it made a brief appearance in the movie Outside Providence.
