After the frame town hall on this site burned in 1891, Town Council held a competition to design a new town hall. Toronto architect G.W. Gouinlock's plans for a Richardson Romanesque building were selected. Built of St. Marys limestone and red sandstone, the structure was completed in June 1892 at a cost of about $15,000. The contractors were local craftsmen John Elliott for masonry, Jacob Near for carpentry, John Willard for painting and glazing, and J.C. Gilpin for galvanized iron.
