More information:

The front exterior of the Atascadero Colony Administrative Building built of local brick and reinforced concrete. Built in 1918, the building has a 40 foot, (12 meter) dome and has survived a 2003 earthquake. The building is number 958 on the list of California Historical Landmarks. The Atascadero City Hall, also known as the Rotunda, is an icon of the city. This was the founder E.G. Lewis's vision for the Utopian community of Atascadero. In 2003, the historic building was damaged by the magnitude 6.6 San Simeon earthquake. The city rented out a nearby bowling alley for use as a temporary city hall while the building underwent extensive renovations and retrofitting. In August 2013, after ten years of closure, the original city hall building was reopened and currently remains in service.
