When Hamilton Square was designed in the early 19th century, a plot of land was made available for the siting of a town hall between Hamilton Street and Chester Street. However, it wasn't until 1887 that the current building was completed. Designed by local architect Christopher Ellison[5] in 1882, the building was constructed using Scottish granite and sandstone from the now filled-in local quarry at Storeton.[2][3]
