The Edgar Josselyn and Nathan Mellon designed Beaux Arts building was constructed in 1905 to serve as Stamford’s town hall. Over the period, the building could not accommodate all the city offices and hence steadily different departments relocated, and finally the town hall was completely vacant. In 1972, efforts to restore this historical hall were made and the National Register of Historic Places accorded a listing to this edifice.
