The Town hall is located at 40 Center Street, between Walnut and William Streets, across Center Street from the Millicent Library. it was designed by Charles Brigham and its style is a brick and stone High Victorian Gothic hall, and it was built in 1892.
It was given to the town by Henry Huttleston Rogers, who also made other significant contributions to the town, including the library. The building's granite trim elements were quarried in St. George, New Brunswick and Red Beach, Maine.

I tried my 11mm Wide angle lens for shots of it, but was hard to get a good position so only got this one shot with that lens

The photo above was when I tried to straightened and align the image, the next one is the same photo as taken with the camera without any straightening

When I drove past this building the first time I thought it was perhaps a church only when I parked and took a walk in this area and came pas this building did I realize it is the Town Hall, it certainly has style, I wonder how many small towns have such a grand town hall, to put the size of Fairhaven in perspective in the 2020 census the population is listed as 15,924.

In the shot above there was powerlines in view I took the time to edit them all out, but for this next shot from a different perspective, I decided to leave them or perhaps I was too lazy to take the time to edit them all out.

You may notice the Flag was at half mast that day in honor of National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, on the day I took these photos back on the 7th of December
