The New Durham Town Hall is located at Main Street and Ridge Road in the center of New Durham, New Hampshire. The two-story wood frame building was designed by Dover architect Alvah T. Ramsdell and built in 1908, replacing the town's original 1770 meetinghouse. It is a stylistically distinctive combination of Colonial Revival and Italianate design, with an elaborately decorated hood sheltering the recessed entry. The northeast corner of the building is taken up by a 55-foot (17 m) tower, which has corner pilasters rising to the third stage, and a hipped roof topped by a weathervane.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
