The Stick Style Memorial Hall was constructed in 1874 to serve as a town hall, a memorial to Civil War soldiers, and school classrooms. The building is covered in wood clapboards and has an asphalt-shingle roof. The 2½-story building has an elevated basement providing three floors of space. The building retains much of its original Stick Style detailing. Underneath the windows on the first floor runs a band of board-and-batten siding. The board-and-batten siding is repeated in the gable ends, except the boards are cut to points at the bottom, adding additional depth to the trim. Jigsaw-cut bargeboards also highlight the gable ends, with a large half-round window in the main façade gable end.
