The Town Hall of Sandwich, New Hampshire, is located on Maple Street (New Hampshire Route 113) in the village of Center Sandwich. The two-story wood frame building was built in 1913, on the foundation of the old town hall, which was destroyed by fire. The Colonial Revival building was designed by J. Randolph Coolidge, a Boston-based architect who summered in the town. The main facade has a temple-front appearance, although it is achieved with four pilasters rather than columns, supporting a fully pedimented gable end. The building's ground floor houses town offices, while the second floor houses an auditorium with stage that is the only facility of its type in the town.[2]
