In 1882, the residents of Bristol voted to sell the town room which was located in the Old Bristol High School to the school district. Apparently, the room was unsatisfactory to the townspeople. At the March 1883 town meeting Willis Peake and E.B. Patterson were appointed to a committee to investigate the matter of building a town hall. Cornelia Holley Smith, daughter of Winter Holley, offered to give the town the land on which her father's store had stood, provided the town would build a town hall on that site within three years. Winter Holley had died in June 1877.
