Construction
The Branford Town Hall was built in 1857 in the Greek Revival style and is attributed to Henry Austin. It has stuccoed exterior walls, and the building has received two renovations, the first of which was a columned front portico in the early 20th century and a rear addition in the late 20th century.
Early History
Although Branford was founded in 1644 as part of the New Haven Colony, it didn’t become a permanent settlement until the mid 19th century, which then prompted the need for an official Town Hall.
