Today...the same area reveals a lot of changes. The Public Library is surrounded with nice shade trees and automobiles replace the streetcars and horse drawn wagon. And new buildings have been added. The five-story structure is the Park building. …

Today...looking south on Main Street from Willow Avenue , the city hall, extreme right, predominates the scene. The old livery building, center is used as a warehouse, and the old McAtee grocery is a county office building.

Today...Council Bluffs City Hall, built in 1940, now occupies the same site. Changed very little in the last 14 years, the building was built by the Works Progress Administration at a cost of slightly over $300,000.
