Hans Schuler’s Centennial Eagle, created for the centennial celebration of the writing of the Star-Spangled Banner, is displayed on City Hall’s second floor.  The sculpture, dedicated in 1914, was originally positioned on the outside front of the building, but has since been restored and moved inside.  A dedication plaque is affixed to the statue’s plinth.  Its inscription reads:
