The OLD TOWN HALL, NW. corner Delaware and 2nd Sts, built 1823, of brick, three stories high, with square white town and octagonal cupola, has an arcade through the center of its first story that originally led to the stalls of the town market at the rear. The market was held as early as 1682, and to make it successful the court restricted buying and selling elsewhere on market days.- Delaware - A Guide to the First State, New Castle section, 1938, pg. 243
The Old Town Hall is much as described in the Guide. It still houses some city offices though most are located in building across the street and further to the northwest. The building also houses the offices for the local newspaper and also offices for the New Castle Green trustees. The building is well maintained.
