2. Community Auditorium Marker

(marker visible on left side of entrance)

A single story wooden frame structure, with board-and-batten siding, a steeply-pitched gable roof, and lancet-arch windows, all characteristics of the Gothic Revival. It served its original congregation (founded in 1885) until the 1940s, and has since then been used as a clubhouse and community center.
