It serves as the seat of the government of the City of Asheville. It is located in the Downtown Asheville Historic District and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

The building is one of the Art Deco masterpieces of Asheville. It was designed by renowned architect Douglas Ellington, whose other works in the city include Asheville High School and the First Baptist Church of Asheville. It was constructed from 1926 to 1928. Intended to be a twin to the new Buncombe County Courthouse, the adjacent courthouse was built in a more conservative and classic style, and much taller than the city hall. A wing connecting them together was planned, but never built. The building still serves the City of Asheville, while the Courthouse has undergone many renovations and expansions. The City Council Chamber is decorated by five murals by painter Clifford Addams. See also
