Regarding The Town Hall. Excerpt from the original National Register nomination for the historic district:
TownHall (80 East Sharon Avenue) - Designed by Cincinnati architect Samuel Hannaford, built 1875 in a Tuscan-Villa-Romanesque composite style. The 3-story brick structure is flanked by a square bell tower which still serves to house the Village fire alarm. The severe architectural lines are relieved by colored patterns in the original slate roof, and by a playful octagonal chimney. Grouped slot windows, hooded gables and random roof dormers typify Hannaford's consciousness of H. H. Richardson's rising influence on public building architecture. The building, with all trim and equipment, is original and in excellent condition. Alterations are limited to replacement entrance doors, new paneling in the Council Chamber and an extension on the west facade serving to enlarge the original apparatus room.
