Photographs of the Great Fire of 1902 show the tower of City Hall still standing tall among the cindering ruins of downtowns. It was fortunate to survive as it set the standard of beauty for other municipal buildings in the state, Gianfranco Archimede, director of historic preservation, told Jersey Digs.
