The foundation stone was laid in May 1934, and Sir Richard Meller, Member of Parliament for Mitcham, inaugurated the building in September 1934. It served as a courthouse until 1999 before transitioning to educational use.
The interior features a double-height council chamber decorated with walnut paneling and a black and white marble staircase in art deco style. These elements were designed to convey importance and formality.
The building now operates as part of Sutton College, providing educational facilities to the community. Access is arranged according to college schedules and academic activities.
The roof features a copper-clad clock tower with a weather vane, and the clock mechanism was manufactured by Gillett and Johnston of Croydon. This local craftsmanship reflects the period of its creation.
