Old City Hall
It was so small the city took the old Glendale School and turned it into the “City Hall Annex”. Anyone who attended Everett Public Schools during this period will remember this as the place where you got your “doctor’s note” if you were out of school for more than a week. The Glendale School was demolished in 1963, making way for a high-rise public housing tower.
