The Simsbury Bank and Trust Company Building

The Simsbury Bank and Trust Company Building, also known as the former Town Hall Building, is a historic commercial and civic building at 760 Hopmeadow Street in Simsbury, Connecticut. Built in 1917, it is a prominent local example of Colonial Revival architecture with Beaux Arts features. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

The two-story Colonial Revival brick building occupies a prominent position in the town center. Its roughly square 72-foot facade is divided into five bays by paired fluted pilasters topped by rosettes, with pilasters at the corners resting on stone piers. The main entrance is centered on the facade, recessed in a paneled archway and topped by a semi-elliptical fanlight. It is framed by thin columns and leaded sidelight windows, and features a richly decorated entablature and a low balustrade perimeter interrupted by brick piers.

The building was built for local businessman Joseph Ensign in 1917 by the Hartford architectural firm of Smith & Bassette. It originally housed the town's first bank and local telephone company offices. In 1969, the town sold the building and used it as town hall until 1984. The building is once again used for commercial purposes.
