City Hall 0.17 7
Historic Architecture, Architecture, Interesting Places, Other Buildings And Structures

In local government, a city hall, town hall, civic centre (in the UK or Australia), guildhall, or a municipal building (in the Philippines), is the chief administrative building of a city, town, or other municipality. It usually houses the city or town council, its associated departments, and their employees. It also usually functions as the base of the mayor of a city, town, borough, county or shire, and of the executive arm of the municipality (if one exists distinctly from the council).

By convention, until the middle of the 19th century, a single large open chamber (or \"hall\") formed an integral part of the building housing the council. The hall may be used for council meetings and other significant events. This large chamber, the \"town hall\" (and its later variant \"city hall\") has become synonymous with the whole building, and with the administrative body housed in it. The terms \"council chambers\", \"municipal building\" or variants may be used locally in preference to \"town hall\" if no such large hall is present within the building.

The local government may endeavor to use the building to promote and enhance the quality of life of the community. In many cases, \"town halls\" serve not only as buildings for government functions, but also have facilities for various civic and cultural activities. These may include art shows, stage performances, exhibits and festivals. Modern town halls or \"civic centres\" are often designed with a great variety and flexibility of purpose in mind. In some European countries, the town hall is the venue for the declaration of Christmas Peace, such as Turku and Porvoo in Finland and Tartu in Estonia.

As symbols of local government, city and town halls have distinctive architecture, and the buildings may have great historical significance\u00a0\u2013 for example the Guildhall, London. City hall buildings may also serve as cultural icons that symbolize their cities.

Violet Cemetery 0.18 7
Cemeteries, Historic, Burial Places, Interesting Places

Violet Cemetery, also known as the Osceola Grave Yard, is a cemetery in Osceola, Arkansas. It is the city's oldest cemetery, with its oldest dated grave marked 1831. Many of the area's early settlers are buried here, and it is the earliest known surviving element of the early days of the area's settlement. It is located near the county courthouse, in an area bounded by West Johnson Avenue, Semmes Avenue, and Pecan Street. It is a flat, square site, flanked by trees.

At the beginning of the twentieth century a group of ladies formed a Cemetery Association to reclaim the burial ground which had become neglected. They fenced it, reset memorials and paths, and planted violets on the graves from which the ground got its current name. It is now managed by the City of Osceola.

Its burials include early settlers, 42 veterans of the Civil War, a congressman (William Joshua Driver (1873\u20131948)), early citizens and developers of Osceola, which was incorporated some 44 years after the earliest marked grave.

The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

Hale Avenue Historic District 0.19 7
Historic, Historical Places, Urban Environment, Gardens And Parks, Cultural, Interesting Places, Historic Districts

The Hale Avenue Historic District encompasses a significant portion of the central business district of Osceola, Arkansas. It extends for five blocks along Hale Avenue, between Ash and Maple Streets, and includes a few buildings on adjacent streets. The focal point of the district is the Mississippi County Courthouse, and the block of buildings opposite it on Hale Avenue. Although Osceola was founded in 1875, it was relocated beginning in 1900 to be closer to the railroad, with Hale Avenue as the major east\u2013west route. This began a period of growth in the city which continued through much of the 1920s. Most of buildings on these blocks of Hale Avenue result from this time, and a number of those built later were built in an architecturally sympathetic manner.

When first listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the district included just six buildings on the 200 block of West Hale Avenue. This was expanded to include three buildings on the 100 block of West Hale, and then enlarged to its present size in 2008. This expanded district includes six properties that were individually listed.
