Hampton’s City Hall was built in the early 1960s when the city decided to move its municipal offices from Kings Way to Lincoln Street. Since most people had not yet imagined this nine-story building in a necessarily appealing way, recently the City of Hampton’s Public Works Division has made some simple aesthetic changes to increase the allure of the building.

Similar to the Coliseum, City Hall is changing their lighting scheme to match the current season or holiday. Now this may sound rather costly and profligate of the taxpayers’ dollars, but the process is as simple as placing colored screens above the current lighting arrangement. Here are a few examples: Simple and very effective. It would be amazing if both City Hall and the Coliseum could coordinate a given color scheme at the same time.
