Handsome brick structure housing town clerk, administration offices, auditorium featuring a large-scale artwork by the former East Hartford, CT artist Calogero “Calvin” Picone, all within the heart of the "Best Small Town In America " (motto). Centrally located launching pad for cheery Essex Holiday House Tour.
