A local Baptist congregation built the building in 1871 as the First Baptist Church, with the interior an open 2-story nave. But the congregation left the building vacant in 1879. A few pews and the organ remain from that first incarnation as a church. In 1896 the building was bought by the Grand Army of the Republic's local chapter, John McDermott Post #101 and Women's Relief Corps #32. They remodeled the building, splitting the nave into two floors, with a kitchen and other rooms on the first floor and with a meeting hall on the second floor – the current layout. The hall remained a meeting place for the G.A.R. until 1942. The site is now a museum.References
