316:, 1920, J.J.B. Benedict. When local officials requested a town hall whose front would "have a character that would dominate the design," architect J.J.B. Benedict drew inspiration from the Palazzo della Regione in Vincenza, Italy. The front of the Italian Renaissance style two-and-a-halfstory building is clad with architectural terra cotta blocks cast to resemble stone and hand molded ornamentation. The first story features an arcade of triple pointed arch entrances accentuated by archivolt molding. Flanking the central arch are lanterns Grafted by Benedict from old iron balconies. On the second story, a central arcade of five, slender, pointed arch windows with polychromatic ornaments and small columns is flanked by two similar windows facing wrought iron balconets. The flat roof building is crowned by a projecting, tiled cornice with modillions. The building has been altered by enclosing the three arches of the first story arcade with multi-light doors, sidelights, and overdoors, and by a 1980s rear concrete block addition not visible from the front. The building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is a designated Littleton landmark.

The upper story has evenly spaced windows with stone sills and brick molding. The first story is surmounted by a secondary cornice and has a beveled inset wall on the southeast; the cantilevered upper story of the southeast corner is supported by a brick pier. Plate glass display windows of the first story sheltered by fabric awnings, are topped by clerestory windows. Walls under windows are clad with stacked brick.
