The Simsbury Townhouse, also known as Boy Scout Hall, was built in 1839. It historically served as a city hall. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[1]
The Simsbury Townhouse was the original town hall for the town of Simsbury, used as a town hall for almost 100 years. It was originally built in 1839, at the top of the hill near its present location, and moved, possibly in 1843, and finally in 1869. The wooden structure was constructed in Greek Revival style by an "unknown master".[2]
