By resolution of the city council was 15. April 1887 price competition, according to their requirements. Finally, he was among the 9 proposals selected the one from Franz Neumann, the architect from Vienna. On the implementation of his proposal it was decided to 6. December 1887. 30.

Old hall

Became from 16. centuries on the square today carries the name of Dr. E. Benes. After the construction of the new city hall, following after a short time they stood together and then the building was the old city hall, also because of its poor condition, overthrown. During construction of the building of the museum, was in its construction built the tower, which visually comes from the old town hall tower.

Originally in Liberec became a magistrate ( in the places of today's Prague street). But it has already ceased to fulfill her requirements. The year 1599 was therefore taken to implement the own building of the town hall. The was designed the Italian maestro Marcus Antonio Spaziem di Lanciem, who lived in Gorlitz. He was also the author of the castle and the church of st. Anthony the Great. 11. September, approved plans, and 2. October the foundation stone was officially laid. Then started own construction work. The building was designed as in the above-ground parts of 40 cubits (23,7 m) long and 28 cubits wide (16.6 m), but its two underground floors encroached on. The actual construction had to give way to a well and a pillory. A rough construction of a one-story building, yet without a tower, was finished in 1602. In October 1603 was then completed and an octagonal tower with finial and a standard. It is interesting that she did not own the ground, but rested on part of the arch of the ground floor. After the building was completed it was in the city for only the third brick building. The costs were covered, first, revenue from the brewing rights (brewing beer) and then a loan of 1,000 thalers from Catherine of Redernu.
The building itself was divided so that on the first floor were located and held all the city's affairs. There were festivities of the city. Housed the great hall, alderman hall, room to store the city's privileges and of the rooms on the knowledge of the less pretentious it was a prison for debtors. On the ground floor is then on the contrary, held a lively business, when there were a saloon, meat and bakery stuff and the year 1704 there they placed a forged municipal scales which had the weight of the sandstone. In the basement is then, of course, kept there beer and wine, or other goods requiring cold. For the purposes of the implementation of the law, then she was in nejhloubší part of the placed city torture chamber. Over 1. floor were two more (attic) floor, these served as warehouses.
The tower showed probably as very problematic, since the repairs we have documented many times from the years 1654, 1695, 1735, 1753 and 1801. In the last mentioned year was even hit by lightning, which caused her to catch fire. The destroyed the whole of its upper part and that had to be completely restored.
However, in the 19. the century already the town was about the knowledge of the larger and more populous than it was during the time of the construction of the city hall. Spread is also bureaucracy. In addition, the building was generally referred to as dilapidated. In 1879 was established to account for construction of the new town hall, and in 1888 began with its construction. After the new city hall was opened, followed by 18. duba 1894 a solemn farewell to the old city hall. Then she was knocked down for 4 weeks.

Today is the floor plan of city hall marked on the square of the dark tiles. The town hall bell is located in the northern facade of the new town hall. Part of the interior decoration (e.g. images Redernů and Gallas) are also saved. Stone pylons have become part of the balustrades of the building savings bank. And the most tangible reminder of this building is the tower building of today's North bohemian museum. Here is also located the previously mentioned scales.
