Bethel, Maine - City and Town Halls on Waymarking.com

The Bethel Maine Town Office is located in the Cole Block Building on Main Street. The town of Bethel, formed in 1796, sits along the Androscoggin River near some of Maine's tallest mountains and is about 1.5 hour drive North West of Portland.

Architected in the Queen Anne style by George Coombs, the Cole Block building was completed in 1892. It is presently the home of the Town Office, The Bethel Police Department and The Bethel Citizen. The building also has a meeting hall named Odeon Hall.

The Cole Brothers Hall was dedicated in 18-May-1892 -- later that year the meeting hall was renamed the Odeon Hall.

The building is found in the National Register of Historic Places.
