Caption: Babylon Town Hall (1917) - View from southeast
Additional Description: From the NRHP statement of significance: Dedicated in 1918, the Babylon Town Hall served the local community as a readily accessible place to house town offices until the mid-twentieth century when the growing town constructed a larger and more centrally located building. In the late 1940's, the Babylon Town Hall also housed the district courts and town jail. After the town offices were moved in 1957 the building continued to accommodate the district courts until 1992 when the historic town hall was sold to a private owner. The Town of Babylon bought back the property in 2004 with the intention of preserving the building and restoring some of its municipal role....The building is still at its original location...and appears much as it did in 1918....
