Designed by the architect Oscar Cobb of Chicago at a cost of $40,000 in 1885, the Town Hall originally housed the bulk of Wellington’s public functions as well as an Opera House. This structure features an unusual but attractive blend of Byzantine, Gothic, Greek and Spanish architecture. Through a levy in 1950 the Town Hall was returned to service and has benefited from brick work restoration and a major remodeling and update in 1983.
