Norwood Memorial Municipal Building (Norwood Town Hall) is a historic building located in Norwood, Massachusetts, United States. The Late Gothic Revival building was built in 1927-28, and is made of Weymouth seamed-face granite. Visitors often mistake it for a church or believe it to have been a church, but it never was; its stained-glass windows depict not saints, but local patriot Aaron Guild. "Guild", whose name appears in local street and building names, is pronounced with a long i, like the second syllable of the word "beguiled". Guild's significance is explained by an inscription on the Aaron Guild Memorial Stone, dedicated in 1903, which stands outside the Norwood public library. The inscription reads: NEAR THIS SPOT CAPT. AARON GUILD ON APRIL 19, 1775 LEFT PLOW IN FURROW, OXEN STANDING AND DEPARTING FOR LEXINGTON ARRIVED IN TIME TO FIRE UPON THE RETREATING BRITISH.Guild and his oxen are featured in the town seal. The building includes a 50-bell carillon tower housing the Walter F. Tilton Memorial Carillon, one of nine carillons in Massachusetts and the seventh-largest in the United States. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
