Dunstable Town Hall is a historic town hall at 511 Main Street in Dunstable, Massachusetts, United States. The architecturally eclectic 1+1⁄2-story brick-and-stone building was built in 1907–1908 to a design by Warren L. Floyd, a Lowell architect. It was a gift to the town by Sarah R. S. Roby, in whose honor the building is named.
The building exhibits a diversity of styles, with elements of Richardsonian Romanesque, Queen Anne, and Classical Revival styling present. When built, the building housed all town offices, including the police station and a small lockup, as well as the public library. The library moved to new quarters in 1998; the building continues to be a focal point of civic life in the town.[2]
Warren Lyman Floyd (February 1, 1836 – August 2, 1918), the architect, practiced in Lowell from 1875 until his retirement in 1909.[3][4] His other work includes schools and churches in and around Lowell and the former First Baptist Church (1888) of Mount Vernon, New York.[5]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
