Additional Information: | Additional Comments 1998: Structure retains a majority of the original features including a decorative entry and original windows. A small outbuilding is located immediately to the rear of the hall and is considered non-contributing. Built in 1890 for $50 in materials, the building was originally used as a sunday school, but changed to a community hall. During the late 1880s and early 1900s, the hall was used for socials, meeings, and other activities. |
