Paxton Town Hall sits awkwardly at the intersection of MA-122 and MA-31. On top of that it looks like they ran out of money and couldn't afford to put a proper roof line on the building.

PAXTON, 29.3 m. (town, alt. 1133, pop. 731, sett, about 1749, incorp. 1765)> was named for Charles Paxton, Commissioner of Customs at the Port of Boston and Marshal of the Admiralty Court. Some years later this gentleman so infuriated the colonists by his participation in the drafting of the notorious tea tax that he was driven out of Boston. The village, loyally supporting the Colonial cause, tried to rid itself of its name, but in vain.
