The Danville Meetinghouse (also known as The Hawke Meetinghouse) is a historic colonial meeting house on N. Main Street in Danville, New Hampshire. Built c. 1760, it is one of the oldest and least-altered meeting houses in New Hampshire. The 2-1/2 story wood frame structure was built by local residents as the meeting for the east parish of Kingston, before it was separately incorporated, first as Hawke, then as Danville. Many of its windows were enlarged slightly c. 1800, and the building also received some Federal style exterior decoration. Its use for religious services declined with the construction of a church in 1832, and town meetings were held here regularly until 1887, when the present town hall was completed. Its box pews were removed in the 1860s and placed in storage; they were returned to their original places in 1936. The building is now maintained by a local nonprofit organization.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Danville Meetinghouse )〕 The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.〔 ==See also==
