This building, dedicated
in 1914 and completed in 1918, was the headquarters for
the Atascadero Colony, a model community envisioned by
Edward G. Lewis. Designed by Walter D. Bliss of San Francisco
and built of reinforced concrete and locally produced
brick, it had also served as a private school for boys,
a veteran's memorial building, and county offices. It
is currently the seat of municipal government.
