Appleton City Hall is a historic municipal building in Appleton, Minnesota, United States. It was built in 1895 as one of the few monumental 19th-century buildings in rural western Minnesota. It initially housed Appleton's government offices, fire department, and jail on the ground floor and an auditorium on the upper floor.[2] The city hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 for having local significance in the themes of architecture and politics/government.[3] It was nominated for supposedly being an example of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture and for its long service as a local government and community center.[2] However other sources describe the building's style less specifically as Romanesque Revival,[1][3] and its municipal services relocated to other facilities in 1976.[2]
