Designed by William Binder, this Spanish Colonial style building was constructed in 1915 as the City Hall at a cost of $10,000. The land was donated to the City of Pleasanton by the Pleasanton Women’s Club who raised money by having socials, music recitals, and suppers. Phoebe Apperson Hearst donated money (anonymously) to construct the building.

The building originally housed the entire City of Pleasanton staff, City Council Chambers, Women’s Club meeting room, and the Public Library. As the city expanded, the Police Department took over the building. In 1984 the Amador Livermore Valley Historical Society leased the building from the City and spent a year and a half restoring it. In 1985, The Amador Livermore Valley Museum opened at its new location.
