Bellingham City Hall, now the Whatcom Museum of History & Art, ca.1903
Designed by Bellingham architect Alfred Lee, this striking Victorian structure was built on a bluff overlooking Bellingham Bay in 1892. Originally built as the New Whatcom City Hall, it later became the city hall for Bellingham when the original towns on the bay combined. It served that purpose until 1939 when a new city hall was built. In 1941 the building became the home of the Whatcom Museum of History & Art, and it still serves in that capacity. The museum was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
