The current building was built in 1909 for the bank, which occupied it until 1937 when it was sold to the Grangers Mutual Insurance Company. Grangers used it as offices until purchased by the Burgess and Commissioners for use as a Town Hall in 1998.Topics. This historical marker is listed in this topic list: Notable Buildings.
