History

The building is a Beaux Arts design by Mowbray and Uffinger, and was built in 1905 by Robert M. Bruce to serve as the Town Hall of Greenwich. The building is shaped like a vertical cube and has three stories, rusticated at the first story. The roof rises above a copper cornice and has a clock built below a domed cupola. In 1977, the town government offices were moved to a building that was formerly used by the Greenwich High School at Field Point Road. The building is now used as a senior center.^[2]
