More About Chatham Town Hall

Built by Judge James L. Tredway, this splendid brick home, now Town Hall, adapted ideally for municipal and police offices. Its purchase in 1978 was partly funded by public subscription as it was in danger of becoming a parking lot.

It continues to enjoy public support as funds from the town’s annual “Christmas in Colonial Chatham” are used to refurbish it. Also citizens have created a lovely wooded park back of it at no cost to the town. The Chatham Lions Club erected a picnic shelter much used for family and civic gatherings. A picturesque gazebo and picnic tables attract crowds each spring to the Picnic-in-the-Park held by the Chatham Garden Club. The plantings of azaleas and rhododendron as well as the flowerbeds are the gift of the Chatham Beautification Committee which also maintains them.
