The Brown Township Building is a historic building in downtown Ansonia, Ohio, United States. Built in the Italianate style in 1883, this two-story structure has historically been the most prominent structure in Ansonia and Brown Township. From the 1880s until the 1950s, the lower floor was used as the village jail, the post office, the fire station, offices for the village and township governments, and a polling place. Although many of these functions have ceased, the governmental offices and polling place remain. Since the building's construction, the upper floor has continuously been a community center for the village and the township, serving as the location for manifold social events through the years.
