The principal entrance is through an arched doorway augmented with a semicircular pediment supported by paired pilasters. In the 1950s, as the municipality had grown, the Town Hall was no longer sufficient to be the centre of activity, and therefore the focus was transferred to the Coop area on the Lakeshore Road.
