Civic Center Plaza




Civic Center Plaza includes Memphis City Hall, the Clifton Davis/Odell Horton Federal Building, TN state office building, and Shelby County administrative building.  It was developed in the 1960's as part of an urban renewal effort.  A Main Street trolley stop with clock tower was later added along the stretch of Main Street that runs through the plaza.  There are also fountains and numerous planters and trees.  City hall is by far the most interesting building architecturally.  It was completed in 1966.
