Designed by famous architect Cass Gilbert, the City Hall building on Grand Street opened in 1915. It underwent an extensive renovation that brought back the original splendor of this 90,000-sq ft "Georgian Revival Style" municipal jewel. The Chase Building across the street and other nearby buildings make up the Cass Gilbert Historic District (so designated in 1978), one of the only places in the world where a collection of the architect's buildings are within walking distance.
The Waterbury Municipal Center Complex, also known as the Cass Gilbert National Register District, is a group of five buildings, including City Hall, on Field and Grand streets in Waterbury, Connecticut, United States. They are large stone and brick structures, all designed by Cass Gilbert in the Georgian Revival and Second Renaissance Revival architectural styles, built during the 1910s. In 1978 they were designated as a historic district and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. They are now contributing properties to the Downtown Waterbury Historic District.

The area's premier performance venue, the renovated Palace Theater opened in 1922 and boasts ornate domed ceilings and grand lobbies. Taking in this magnificent building is as much fun as the performance itself.
The Waterbury area's more than 300-year history is chronicled here and the main gallery is devoted to exhibiting the works of Connecticut artists. Among the exhibits is a collection of over 15,000 buttons which was donated by the town's now-defunct Button Museum. The museum occupies the former Masonic Temple building on Waterbury's historic Green.
