The building is the only purpose-built town hall building in Plainfield, whose government is divided between Plainfield village (where Plainfield Town Hall is located) and Meriden. This town hall was built after the previous meeting house (built 1797), used for both religious and civic functions, was destroyed by fire in 1894.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
