The hall was built in two stages, the first being the front municipal offices, designed in the Greek revival style to the design of then young architect Joseph Plottel,[1] dating from 1919. The hall behind was added to the design of Gibbs, Finlay & Morsby, and officially opened in 1927.[2]
After the City of Williamstown was amalgamated with the City of Altona in 1994 to form the new City of Hobsons Bay,[3] the building continued to be used for council meetings, though not as often as its Altona counterpart.
