Built in 1915 to a design by Lewiston architect Harry S. Coombs, it continues to house the town's municipal offices today.

It is a fine example of Colonial Revival architecture, representing the town's growth in the early decades of the 20th century, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

Chisholm in 1893 established the paper processing industry that still dominates the town, and its population and central business district grew rapidly in the following decades.

The main block is five bays wide, set on a raised foundation, with a hip roof topped by a clocktower with a coppered cupola.

The main entrance, centered on the front facade, is accessed via a small flight of stairs, and is sheltered by a portico supported by Doric columns.
