Old Fire Hall
Historic Sites
Built in 1854 this building was Brampton’s first municipal building and was originally used as the village’s market hall. It also served as the fire engine house. There were originally three archways facing Chapel Street. The second storey has a ‘long room’ and by 1860 this space was used as the Village Council Chambers.
In 1874, the first meeting of Brampton Town Council was held in this building. Council met here until the turn of the century when it relocated to the Heggie Block on Main Street South. The forty-foot hose tower was built in 1862 so that fire hoses could be hung to dry. The tower also held the fire bell. Just prior to the outbreak of the First World War the building became used exclusively as a fire hall.
