The Greek Revival market and town hall were built in 1842 after a fire destroyed many frame buildings on Front Street in Georgetown, South Carolina. An open-air market occupied the first floor, and the town hall occupied the second floor. The clock tower and belfry were added in 1845. On February 24, 1865, the town council, meeting here, surrendered Georgetown to officers of the U.S. Navy.
