A "brick" covered cake was shared by visitors to Collinsvile City Hall Thursday to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the iconic brick building that has housed city ofices starting in December 1913. A December 2001 fire kept city staff away from the building until rennovations were completed in Jan. 2006.
