The Town Hall was built by the WPA work forces in 1936, and Dedication Ceremony took place January 12, 1937. Of Neoclassical style, the Town Hall has the symmetrically placed windows, central doorway, and full height columns of the style. The added cupola and weathervane are probably added to give it the look of a more typical Town Hall.
