Town of Frederick Old Town Hall

Weld County

The Town of Frederick Old Town Hall is significant in the area of politics and government as a long tenured town hall serving the community of Frederick from 1908 until 1976, when the town constructed a new Town Hall/Municipal Building.  It originally served as the recorder of coal mining transactions, municipal court, jail, record keeper and primary hub for town government.  Additionally, the 1908 Town of Frederick Old Town Hall is significant as a good local example of a false-front commercial building type.

Character-defining features of this building type exhibited by the Old Town Hall include a front-gabled roof, main façade parapet extending above the roof, rectangular plan, wood-frame construction, and one story.  In 1976 the town outgrew the 1908 building and relocated the original building to a park two blocks to the west.  The original site became the site of a much larger town hall building including the fire station and police station.
