Text-to-speech Audio
The new Town Hall in Port Stanley was built during the 1920s after much dispute to replace the first town hall (built 1877). It also used to house the fire department. Today the building houses the Port Stanley Festival Theatre, as well as the Elgin Business Resource Centre, and other businesses.
