Pichilemu City Hall

Pichilemu City Hall.

The Pichilemu City Hall serves as the city's administrative headquarters. It was constructed from 1891 until May 6, 1894.^[3][4]

The building is located in the Ángel Gaete street,^[5] in a terrain with 1.660 m² that descends suddenly from the street level. It is conformed by a 2-floors building, a zócalo, a complementary construction (260 m²) and a yard. The yard serves as car parking for the municipality trucks, has a store and the corral municipal.^[4]

The building was not constructed for that purpose, and works as four separate parts rather than one unit.^[4]

The Pichilemu City Hall was scheduled to be renovated in 2011, by the Government of O'Higgins Region.^[6] According to the Municipality of Paredones, the Pichilemu City Hall "will be completely repaired."^[7] Mayor of Pichilemu Roberto Córdova said on a Pichilemu City Council meeting that the new City Hall will be constructed with the earthquake reconstruction funds, and it is expected that by late 2011, the construction work will begin.^[8]
