The West Stockbridge Town Hall that houses an 1878 schoolhouse bell

The West Stockbridge Town Hall at 9 Main Street is a 2-1/2 story wood frame building built in 1854. The two-story Greek Revival structure features a ground floor organized into three storefronts, complete with gabled hoods and large angle brackets. Although it was built with the idea that other businesses would also occupy parts of the building, the town has taken over the entire space.

The architecture features a clapboarded exterior, pilasters at the corners, and a cornice separating the stories. The building has retained much of its original woodwork despite its use for a variety of civic purposes. The second story has five large and evenly spaced sash windows, and the building's gabled roof runs parallel to the street.

In 1978, a cupola was added to the exterior to house the bell of an 1878 schoolhouse. Today, the downstairs houses some town offices and the public library. The upstairs was originally a large open hall with a stage at one end, but has since been partitioned for office space using reversible partitions. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.
