The town hall of Eversberg is a magnificent, single-storey half-timbered building with double-sashed wooden lattice windows. A double flight of stairs with a forged railing from 1929 leads to the central entrance door to the market square. The front door is flanked by two trophies: on the left a wild boar's head (probably the city's namesake) and on the right deer runs and antlers.
Today the library is located in the former town hall and the former conference room is regularly used for cultural events.

The old town hall has a two-part mansard roof with a roof shed covered with natural slate. The sleepers and corner posts are richly carved and colored. It is a magnificent, one-storey half-timbered building with double-leaf wooden lattice windows over a high, massive, windowed basement. A double staircase with forged railings from 1929 leads to the gabled entrance door in the middle of the eaves side to the market square. The building itself was probably built around 1750. Flanking the front door are two trophies:
Left: wild boar head below the inscription:
*ANNO 1764 THE 27TH OF JANUARY, THIS WINE IS CAPTURED BY THE EVERSBERGERS*
Right: Deer legs and antlers with the inscription:
*THIS DEER WAS SHOT AND CAPTURED BY OUR CITIZENS IN THE FERBRARI IN OUR DRÜERMARK AND THE WEIGHTS WERE NEGELED TO US TOWN HALL: EVERSBERG 23TEN EEBUARY 1769*
