For about thirty-five years, Dalton's voters conducted their Town Meetings in the homes, inns and taverns of various residents, as well as the Congregational Church, until 1844, when they voted to "take the surplus money and build a Town-House". The appearance of the building has changed only a little since then. Most notable is the addition of the Public Library, and the removal of the carriage sheds at the left side of the building. The Town Hall was also the location of Dalton High School for many years.
The date of the photo above has not been determined, but was probably taken around the 1940's. The photo below is recent. |
