The Old West Salem City Hall served
city hall from 1935 until the city merged with Salem in 1949. It was built using WPA funds. After serving as a city hall, it was used for other Salem government functions.[2] The West Salem Branch of the Salem Public Library was established there in 1957 and occupied the first floor until it moved out in 1987 due to the building's deterioration.[3]
The building was restored for use as private offices and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[4][5]
