1920 - the city leased the former Hihn mansion for the second City Hall.
1920-1923 - the old city hall was sold to the county, and became an annex to the courthouse
1923 - the city bought second City Hall property.
1937 - the north wing of today's City Hall opened for business. In the same year, the old city hall (aka courthouse annex) was torn down to make way for a new county jail.
1967 - a two-story annex was built, to the west (toward Chestnut St.)
1989 - Santa Cruz PD moved out of the earthquake-damaged north wing of City Hall.
