The West Tisbury Town Hall existing historic structure was renovated to meet modern town office requirements and expanded with a new addition. First, the Town Hall structure was lifted off of its foundation and a new full basement was constructed for both the existing building and the new addition. Next, a concrete shaft was constructed to house a new basement-to-third floor elevator, and the new building addition was framed up. Then, the existing building structure was reinforced with a structural steel skeleton to accommodate column-free interior office space and meeting rooms. Finally, the entire building was re-shingled and solar panels were installed on the roof. During the renovation project, the Town Hall offices were temporarily relocated to trailers in the back yard and to the Town annex building – with no disruption in service to Town residents or visitors.
