The City Hall and Firehouse, built in 1914, is an historic city hall and fire station building located on the corner of Crawford and Water streets in Bainbridge, Georgia. It was designed by Atlanta-based architect William Augustus Edwards who designed nine South Carolina courthouses as well as academic buildings at twelve institutions in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.^[1] It is a contributing property in the Bainbridge Commercial Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places on 6 November 1987.
