The North Hampton Town Hall is located at 231 Atlantic Avenue in North Hampton, New Hampshire. It is a single-story white clapboarded building with a two-stage tower whose belfry contains a Revere bell cast in 1815. The tower's pyramidal roof and clock were added in 1920. The transitional Federal-Greek Revival structure was built in 1844 to serve the town's municipal needs, a function it continues to serve today. In addition to the bell, which originally hung in the town's second meetinghouse, the building includes timbers from meetinghouses built 1734 and 1761.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.[1]
