Ponce City Hall
The Ponce City Hall (Spanish: Casa Alcaldía)〔 is located on Calle Degetau, across from Plaza Las Delicias in the Ponce Historic Zone in Ponce, Puerto Rico. The building serves as the seat of the executive branch of government of the Autonomous Municipality of Ponce, including the office of the Mayor of Ponce. It is the oldest colonial building in the city, dating to 1840.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.puertorico.com/porta-caribe/ponce/ )〕 The building was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1986 as Casa Alcaldía de Ponce-City Hall.〔
==History==
The Ponce City Hall has one of the most unusual histories of any city hall throughout the world, because it was a jail until the end of the 19th century.〔 Rooms currently used as offices were jail cells before, and the courtyard of the City Hall was the place where executions took place.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ponce - City Hall )〕
The last public hanging on the island happened in its courtyard.〔(Last public hanging )〕 It has been visited by four U.S. presidents, and three of them actually gave a speech from the City Hall's front balcony: Theodore Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover, and Franklin Roosevelt. George H. W. Bush visited, as well.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Frommer's )〕
