Save St Stephen Old Town Hall

Save St Stephen Old Town Hall

The Issue

The Old Town Hall in St. Stephen, New Brunswick, was completed in 1887 and served as the Post Office and Customs House until 1965 when ownership was transferred to the Town of St. Stephen. Designed under the federal government’s chief architect Thomas Fuller, the structure is one of a series of buildings erected with the aim of establishing a visible federal presence throughout the country. The Old Town Hall was designated a National Historic Site in 1983.

St. Stephen Town Council recently voted to demolish this historically and architecturally significant building. We believe the most important historic building in St. Stephen must be saved, repaired and repurposed. The Old Town Hall belongs to the community and it must once again become a vibrant part of town life.

Please add your voice. Save our Old Town Hall!
