It is one of the largest neo-classic buildings built at its time. Built with brick and granite, it was erected in 1928. It houses all of the town offices, a large hearing room, the selectmen's meeting room, and a large banquet hall. It also has an auditorium that can seat 1638.

The Clock and tower was originally on the high school and moved when the building was constructed.
