Easton Town Hall is a single-story Colonial Revival municipal building at 225 Center Road on a 3.45-acre lot raised from the street level on a terraced slope with a stone retaining wall. The 1969 addition extends from the south elevation along Morehouse Road. The exterior of the main building is constructed with red brick and accentuated with Tennessee limestone. It rests on a poured concrete foundation and a molded concrete water table atop a raised basement. The original building measured 48 feet wide and 37 feet deep with two single-story flat-roofed wings. To the east, the wing measured 10 feet by 31 feet long. To the west, 10 feet wide by 30 feet long. With its main façade facing Center Road, two staircases connect the parking lot to the main entrance.

Located at the heart of Easton in the town’s municipal complex, it sits adjacent to the original Samuel Staples Elementary School which now serves as additional town administrative offices, a senior center and a private school.

The town committed to building a new elementary school in 1930 on the land behind the Johnson/Mellen family home at 211 Center Road and a new school with plenty of room for expansion was constructed there in the Colonial-Revival style.  Part of this land may have been set aside for a future town hall that was made possible by prominent residents Gustav Pfeiffer and Judge John McClane. Pfeiffer had purchased multiple properties in the Aspetuck Corners area during the last years of the 1920s into the beginning of the 1930s. He would restore and renovate many of the older buildings, selling them to family and friends to make an enclave of attractive homes with a look of colonial wealth and charm. He encouraged Helen Keller to move to this area and, in addition to donating the land to the American Foundation for the Blind, he financed the design and construction of Ms. Keller's new residence. Pfeiffer was not a fan of Easton's primitive roadways, so he annually donated good-sized amounts of money to the town to make multiple improvements. Judge John MacClane, a prominent attorney from New York, purchased a parcel of vacant land on Sherwood Road in the early 1930s and built an elegant stone house that still adorns the property today. He, too, wanted to improve the area's roads and gave the town substantial funds for this purpose. Pfeiffer and MacClane donated $32,500 ($15,000 from Pfeiffer and $17,500 from MacClane) towards the construction of the new town hall, which was to include a library on the lower level. The total construction cost was slightly over $40,700, so the town's outlay was only about $8,000. The inclusion of the library may have been a rather significant factor in influencing the amount of Pfeiffer's and MacClane's donations. Founded in 1933 in the new Samuel Staples School basement, the library collection would be transferred into the new town hall and located on the main floor. In addition to the administrative offices and the library, the 1937 plans for Easton’s Town Hall included fire-proof vault for documents, an office for a doctor and nurse as part of a public health program, and a courtroom for legal proceedings. While the basement was primarily dedicated to the library, the original plans also included a detention center with holding cells. 

Easton's Town Hall is a structure with quite a few "firsts": • The first dedicated government building in the town of Easton. • The first public library for the town. • The first and only courthouse in the town. • The first police department for the town. • The first museum and exhibition space for Easton and its Historical Society. • It is one of only a few surviving Frederick Dixon buildings in Connecticut and the first and only known town hall designed by this architect.
