The town hall, which was the headquarters of Chadderton Urban District Council, is a grade II listed building.

[7] It was designed by Taylor & Simister of Oldham in the Edwardian Baroque style, built with red brick and stone dressings, and was officially opened by the chairman of the council, Herbert Wolstencroft, in 1913.

[1] The design had been intended to provide "a broad and strong treatment of the English Renaissance"[9] and it was complemented with extensive landscaping: the town hall has been described by the council as having "charming gardens".

[10] A war memorial, sculpted by Albert Toft to commemorate the lives of local service personnel who had died in the First World War and featuring a figure of a soldier holding a rifle in his right hand, was unveiled in front of the building by Councillor Ernest Kempsey on 8 October 1921.

[12] It became the register office for the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham in 2007[13][14] and subsequently served as a licensed venue for marriages and civil partnership ceremonies.
