The following text is taken from the National register of Historic Places Nomination Form:
The Talent Elementary School building, long referred to as Talent City Hall and now known as the Talent Community Center, is an imposing one-story wood-frame volume with a bell tower, located in the heart of downtown Talent, Oregon. Built in 1899 and first used as a school, the building was converted to city government use in 1914 and since then has housed a wide variety of public and civic uses. Designed in a simple vernacular style with cornerboards, a wide frieze and strong watertable typical of Classical architecture, the Talent Elementary School building is largely unaltered from its original design and construction. Additions to the rear and east, related to the building’s expanding use by the City of Talent, were all completed during the period of significance.
