In 1972, the beautiful building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is a three-story building in Beaux Arts style, which was a very popular style of architecture at the turn of the twentieth century. It includes floor to ceiling windows, a stunning grand divided staircase with iron-rod railings, a Czechoslovakian glass ceiling above the staircase, terrazzo tile flooring and scagliola plaster on the lobby walls. The outside is limestone faced, flanked with Corinthian columns, and topped with a large clock tower. Its original purpose was to house the office of the mayor, city officials, the police station, courthouse, and even a horse stable.

Renovations to the Old Town Hall began in 2008 and were completed in 2010. The building has been renovated to accommodate multiple uses including long term commercial rental, public exhibition space, and event rental space.
