Le conseil municipal y siège, sauf de 1848 à 1851, période durant laquelle il tient se réunions dans l'immeuble du Parlement du Bas-Canada, côte de la Montagne.

Construite entre 1795 et 1797 par les loyaliste Thomas Aston Coffin, cette maison devient en 1816 la propriété de Thomas Dunn, juge, homme politique et d'affaires. Son fils, William, la cédera à la Ville. Elle was remaniée par les architectes Browne et Lecourt en 1850; l'imposant porche de pierre date de cette époque. Elle est démolie en 1898 pour faire place aux bâtiments actuels portant les adresses de 78 à 84, rue Saint-Louis.
