Description
The village hall, originally a schoolhouse, dates from the mid-19th century and was extended in the later 19th century. It features stone rubble walls and a gable-ended slate roof, with a brick stack at the right gable end of each range. The building has a long, narrow plan that is only one room deep. The original layout included two schoolrooms on the left, each with a separate entrance, while an additional long room was added to the right-hand end later in the 19th century.
The exterior is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical four-window front on the original range to the left. This section retains tall two-light stone mullion and transom windows with hoodmoulds above. There are two identical porches, one at each end, featuring stone Tudor-style arched doorways that also have hoodmoulds. Above the porches, the gables are stone-coped and terminate in a small finial on the left-hand porch. Each gable has a stone plaque inscribed with "C," likely representing the Clinton estate. Behind the porches are 20th-century blockwood doors. The later addition on the right-hand end is lower and has three windows similar to those on the original part, along with plank doors to the left and right of the center. The interior has not been inspected.
