The City Hall of Rock Springs, Wyoming, located at 4th and B Sts. in Rock Springs, is a gray sandstone building that was built in 1894. It includes Richardsonian Romanesque architecture in a design by Salt Lake City architect M.D. Kern. It has an irregular plan within 90.9-by-71.9-foot (27.7 m × 21.9 m) dimensions.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]

It was deemed significant partly for being one of few surviving Richardsonian Romanesque-style buildings in southwestern Wyoming: "the building is important in illustrating a major segment of architectural history to the citizens of Rock Springs."[2]
