Current Use

Today, the Borough Hall is still an integral part of the Ben Avon Community. The first floor of the building houses the Borough Offices and Council Chambers, as it has since 1920, when Council first began holding its meetings there, after having met in the Ben Avon School starting in 1893.

In addition to Council Chambers, the first floor of the building houses the Borough Offices for the Borough Secretary and Public Works Manager. The basement, initially the home of the fire-fighting apparatus, is currently used for the storage of Public Works equipment and Borough records.

The second floor of the building continues to be used as a community resource hosting private functions including birthday parties, showers and public events such as the Fall Festival, Light-up Night Festivities and Holiday House Tour. In recent years the space has been used for Avon Club meetings, Boy & Girl Scout activities and YMCA classes.
