Gibbon Village Hall is a former municipal hall in Gibbon, Minnesota, United States. It was built in 1895 with medieval-themed Romanesque Revival architecture.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for its local significance in the theme of architecture.[1] Gibbon Village Hall was nominated for being a well-preserved example of an unusual variation on Romanesque Revival style.[3]
Gibbon's government services relocated to other buildings in the 1970s.[3]
Gibbon Village Hall is a two-story brick building on a corner lot. It stands on a raised basement of Morton Gneiss with angled buttresses. The roofline is mostly crenellated, though the prominent corner tower has a battered top. Surmounting this is an open belfry with an octagonal roof. The original entrance was on the west side of the tower under a large, semicircular arch, accessed by steep stairs which have since been removed. A semicircular arched canopy and entryway at the north rear provide access to the basement.[3]
