Wellesley Town Hall
Wellesley Town Hall, National landmark town hall in Wellesley, Massachusetts.
The Romanesque stone building at 525 Washington Street features French Chateau elements and stands in Hunnewell Park near the central business district.
H. H. Hunnewell funded the construction of this municipal building between 1881 and 1886, with the east wing initially serving as a public library.
The building represents the architectural practices of Shaw & Hunnewell, incorporating design elements observed during their European travels in the 1880s.
The town hall maintains regular office hours for municipal services and contains meeting spaces for local government functions and community gatherings.
The structure stands on land that previously belonged to Dr. William Thomas Green Morton, who introduced ether as an anesthetic in 1846.
