we actually did it and city hall is getting restored instead of torn down. i honestly cant thank you enough for sticking with this because we saved a piece of our history. keep an eye on the renovation plans so we can hold them to it.

We, the undersigned citizens/taxpayers of Paducah, Ky, request the Mayor and City Commission to restore our Edward Durell Stone-designed City Hall in lieu of demolishing it.
“A new, well-planned, well-designed city hall will be a symbol of Paducah’s economic resurgence. It will be an indication to citizens and visitors alike that something new is happening in Paducah. The psychological effects of such a new building, having good land-use planning, and architectural design, will be of considerable value in changing Paducah’s image from that of just another Ohio River town to that of a community which has taken hold of its problems and is working toward their solution.” - on the building of City Hall, PADUCAH 1962

Paducah is losing its soul one building at a time. Leave the city hall alone.
KEEP IT! that architecture is beautiful and you dont see that kind of design anymore.
Waste of tax money. Fix what we have instead of tearing it down. It was good enough for the last 50 years why not now?
Demolition is an expensive mistake. Renovate and keep our town looking like itself.
This building is part of our history. Stop trying to erase everything that makes Paducah unique just for a shiny new office.
