Watch “Cheney Hall,” a 40-minute television that describes this magnificent building through illustrations and stories. Cheney Hall, built in the French Second Empire style, was designed by architect C. H. Hammatt Billings. It was dedicated in 1867 and served as a community hall and location for concerts, lectures, rallies, and plays. It fell into disrepair in the 1970s but underwent a renovation that saved its life and brought it back to its current welcoming and accessible building, busy with activities year-round, and a local and regional attraction.
