The building, which formerly operated as the offices of Liversedge Urban District Council, is now used as private residential accommodation.

Following significant population growth, largely associated with the woollen industry, a local board of health was established in the Liversedge area in 1875.

[3] The building was designed by William Ellis of Heckmondwike in the Italianate style, built in limestone brick and was completed in around 1880.

[5] The building became known as the "Town Hall" in the late 19th century and continued to serve as the headquarters of the urban district council into the early 20th century,[6] but ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged Spenborough Urban District Council was formed in Cleckheaton in 1915.

[5] The building, by then known as the "Old Town Hall", was subsequently used as a community centre and a clinic with visiting medical staff.
