New Ipswich Town Hall

New Ipswich Town Hall is a municipal building in New Ipswich, New Hampshire, constructed in the Greek Revival style. The structure features a gabled roof, clapboard siding, and strong corner pilasters that rise to an entablature crowned by a pedimented gable.

The building was established in 1817 as a venue for town meetings and academic purposes. It housed a private academy that had been founded in 1787, making it a dual-purpose structure from its inception.

The main hall with its gallery along the eastern side serves as a gathering place for the community and town business. This space has been the center of public life in New Ipswich for generations.

The building is located on Main Street within the New Ipswich Center Village Historic District, making it easy to locate. Visitors should note that access to the interior may be limited to specific hours or community events.

In 1869, the building underwent major modifications that removed the tower's cupola to create a large auditorium space. This transformation shows how the structure was adapted to meet changing community needs over time.
