In November of 1940, Kaysville Mayor Thornley K. Swan announced construction of a $55,000 city hall building. Funding was originally split between a 1941 city bond and $20,000 of WPA (Works Project Administrations) funds.

The original building design included city offices, library, kitchen, assembly hall and a vault for records (Old rock building). The exterior is a long, one-story, central-block-with-wings-type building in a PWA Moderne (Stripped Classical) style. This classicism is unusual for WPA-sponsored buildings, since this building lacks the usual more abstract, streamlined appearance of other PWA Moderne buildings. The building is constructed of concrete, dressed in a native fieldstone veneer of gray, rose and purple hues brought down from nearby canyons and laid in a random rubble pattern. The roof has a truncated hipped design. The two entrances feature the only real architectural ornamentation on the building with buff-colored terra cotta door surrounds (National Park).

Construction started in 1941 but was quickly brought to a halt after the Dec 1941 Pearl Harbor bombing. At that time federal labor was reassigned to the Hill Field project and WPA funds were eliminated. The building stood partially completed for 18 months: some stonework was left to lay and the interior had not been started.

Construction was recommenced in 1943 at which time the health needs in the northern Davis County military areas were a priority. This health focus resulted in an additional $42,000 Federal Works Administration grant. Initially the architectural plans included a smaller health department building to the north of the partially finished City Hall (Special collections). This idea was abandoned, and the Davis County Health Department moved into most of the City Hall building (13 rooms), leaving only one room for city use. Although the interior has since been remodeled, the original included apple green walls and birchwood paneling throughout the structure enhanced by gunwood doors and acoustic board ceilings. A large auditorium for health lectures seated about 200 people. The center was fully equipped for clinic work with laboratory, exam and treatment rooms and included consultation, waiting and office rooms as well. The building was finally completed in the fall of 1943 and put into use by early 1944 (Historic rock building).

The Kaysville City Hall building was shared among Kaysville municipal offices (1944 – 1987), the Davis County Health Department (1944 – 1963), and the Kaysville library (1962 – 2015). The City Hall building has lain empty since 2015. In 2017, the city council authorized the remodel of the building to add much needed office space. However, after work had begun, mold was discovered in the walls. Further inspection revealed additional work to make the building habitable. In late 2022 discussion was continuing, and the building sadly appeared to be used as a warehouse for city construction material.
