..... Town hall coimbatore history in
The hall years hosted numerous civic receptions for visiting dignitaries including Mahatma Gandhi and C. Rajagopalachari.
The District Central library was inaugurated at the Town Hall building in 1952. The library functioned on the mezzanine floor between 1952 and 1956 before it moved to another building in VOC park.
Over time the building became neglected and dilapidated.
A government order was issued for the demolition of the building in 1992. A group of activists and INTACH came together to garner support for saving it. The campaign was eventually successful and the corporation agreed to renovate the building. The renovation was done the same year at an estimated cost of Rs 1,500,000.
The building hosts regular meetings of the Coimbatore Municipal Corporation.
