1960s - City Hall Annex

Details
Title

1960s - City Hall Annex

Description

Construction for the Annex, which was part of the city's 10 Year Capital Improvement Program, began on January 11, 1960. The new Annex opened February 24, 1961 and housed the Burbank Police Department, the city jail, and the city's civil defense headquarters. A tunnel was dug below 3rd St., linking the Annex with the County Courts building and was used to transport prisoners for court appearances. A fortified basement was built to withstand a "zero-zone bomb blast" and a deep well was dug beneath the building to provide independent water "in case of attack."
