Colton had been Chaplain on the USS Congress under Commodore John D. Sloat, and Alcade for the Town of Monterey 1846, the first and only American Alcade of Monterey. / The hall takes its name from Rev. Walter Colton who built it in the years 1847-1849. It is constructed of white stone quarried in the immediate area. This stone has been plastered over and painted. The adjoining jail with its vaulted ceiling is of granite construction and was completed in 1854. Entrance to the second floor was originally by the existing stairway in the rear. The lower floor was used as a school and the upper floor as an assembly hall.
