As Long As The Weather Was Cold The Building Seemed Fine, But As The Snow Melted So Did The Mortar. The Building Had To Be Demolished Later That Summer. With The Addition The City Hall Was Referred To The Second City Hall But It Was Actually The First City Hall With An Addition. Also In The Image Are A Covered Wagon & Red River Carts Pulled By Oxen.
