Built in 1831 to obtain $200 that was left by Samuel Scotton, for the purchase of a “town clock.” The cost of the building was $2,700. The clock was $500, the town bell cost $156, the lot was $300, and incidental expenses were $125 totaling to $3,781. In 1938, this town hall was torn down. The building’s bell has since been exhibited on the lawn near the entrance to the municipal building at Pond and Mulberry Street.

Note: The Coca Cola sign on the wall of the building to the left of the town hall was painted over sometime after this photograph and was covered until it was rediscovered in 1999. The Coca Cola Company had it repainted in 2006 and the image was changed to a 1947 picture.
