The Argao Hall of Justice was once a school building for the children of church workers. Made of cut-coral coral stones, it served as a barrack World War II. It was gutted down during a fire in 1962 but was restored in 1983 to house the municipal court house. Just nearby is the old municipal hall built during the Spanish colonial-era in the style of an oversized bahay-na-bato. It now houses the town museum.

These two government buildings along with the church and some other Spanish-era structures once formed part of the old town of Argao which was enclosed by a defensive stone wall to protect it from Moro slave raids. Parts of the wall and the watchtowers still exist today albeit in a bad shape.
