The Temple Town Hall, also known as the Union Hall and the Miller Grange Hall, is a historic municipal building in the center of Temple, New Hampshire. The white clapoarded wood frame structure was built in 1842 as a church. In 1875 the building was sold to the local grange chapter, which enlarged the building in 1880s, adding 20 feet (6.1 m) to its length. This additional space provided interior space for a stage, which was used for grange rituals and dramatic presentations. The town purchased the building from the grange in 1889, although it continued to be used by the grange in addition to serving as a place for town functions. It was used by the town as a meeting space until 1990, and continues to be used for social functions.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
