Summary

Significance: Wilmington City Hall/Thalian Hall has housed city government and community theater continuously since 1855. Designed by John Montague Trimble, the building is of restrained, neo-classical design with flamboyant Victorian Italianate details typical of Wilmington architecture of this period. Thalian Hall survives today as the best example of 19th century theater architecture in North Carolina, and one of the few remaining examples in the nation. City Hall/Thalian Hall is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
