The Uniopolis Town Hall is a historic village hall and museum in Uniopolis, Ohio, United States. Built in 1875,[2] this Gothic Revival structure was built as a church, the Divinity Church of the United Brethren in Christ.[1] The building ceased to be used for this purpose in 1900, when it was purchased by the village of Uniopolis and converted into a village hall. After more than ninety years of service as a village hall, the building began a process of conversion into the museum of the Uniopolis Historical Society.[2]
The Uniopolis Town Hall is a simple Carpenter Gothic structure with five lancet windows on each side. Its weatherboarded walls rest upon a foundation of concrete and are topped with a roof of asphalt. As the Uniopolis municipal building, it has served a range of non-governmental purposes, including use as a community meeting room and as an auditorium.[3] In recognition of its importance to the community, the village hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1] Although it was built in 1875, its primary use as a community building means that its period of historic significance was deemed to have begun in 1900.[3]
