The present building, originally known as the Town Hall, was built in 1878 by John Rylands, the architect being N. Lofthouse. In 1883 a library was opened in part of the building. On the death of John Rylands, the building was lent to the then Local Board by his widow Enriqueta Rylands for a nominal rent, and on her death in 1908, it was bought by Stretford Urban District Council. A theatre, known as the Civic Theatre was added in 1933.
