The Grasmere Schoolhouse No. 9 and Town Hall, also known as the Grasmere Grange Hall, is a historic municipal building located at 87 Center Street in the village of Grasmere in Goffstown, New Hampshire. Built in 1889 as a town hall and school, it has served a variety of civic and community functions since its construction, and is a good example of civic Queen Anne architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
The Grasmere Schoolhouse No. 9 and Town Hall is located on the north side of Center Street, a short way east of Grasmere's main intersection with Henry Bridge Road. It is a 2½-story wood-frame structure, with a clipped gable roof and clapboarded exterior. A two-story pavilion projects from the center of the street-facing long side, with a hip roof topped by a square tower. The tower has an open belvedere with round-arch openings, and is capped by a pyramidal roof. The main entrance is in the base of the pavilion, recessed in three round-arch openings under a single-story gable.[2]
