Built in 1873 as town hall and market by local architect John D. Evans, the High Victorian Gothic Revival was built using limestone and red brick.[1] It became city hall in 1877 when Belleville became a city.[2]

Originally a two-storey building, it housed the local farmer's market, which moved in 1961. Two floors were added during renovations in 1988.[3]
