Old Town Hall c.1900

The date is unclear, the left side addition doesn't appear on the 1897 insurance map of Delta, it was a later addition. The tree on the right appears to be a similar size to a photo dated to the early 1900s.

The stain on the left side, present to this day, is creosote, likely from liquid creosote wicking through unlined, porous brickwork due to a combination of burning wet wood and a deteriorating internal mortar lining of the chimney.

The logs in the front are destined for the sawmill that was attached to the Old Stone Mill.

The reason for the men, several in uniform, is unclear.
