After the July 4th 1889 fire, the city of Ellensburg planned to build a large, impressive City Hall. This city hall illustrated in the West Shore magazine was never built. Ellensburg, recovering from the fire that destroyed most of the downtown business district, did not have the capital to finance a large city hall. A much smaller, two story brick structure was built on Pine Street between Third and Fourth Streets.A supplement to West Shore (magazine) commissioned by Leonhard & Ross of Ellensburgh, Washington.
