LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, Ga. — For years, tourists have come to See Rock City.

It’s a safe bet that few take a second look at Lookout Mountain City Hall, which is housed in an aging cement-block building that once was a restaurant.

But an extreme makeover may be in the works.

Council members have given rave reviews to renderings of a proposed town center drawn by architect Michael McGowan of River Street Architecture.

“We’ve talked about it for so long, and there are a lot of people that’d really like to see it happen,” Mayor Bill Glascock said of the town center, which takes design cues from Lookout Mountain landmarks Rock City and the Fairyland Club.
