Jones Hall
Jones Hall was built between 1792 and 1800, perched atop Marlow Hill in the original Town Center. It was known as The Christian Church and also The Meetinghouse at Marlow and was thought to be a near duplicate of the famous Rockingham Meeting House in Rockingham, Vermont. In 1845 it was moved to its present site, and underwent some alterations. The Greek Revival architectural touches were probably made at this time. The box pews were removed, a second floor was added at the gallery level and the stair location was changed. In 1890 the building was sold to the Jones family who once again altered the space to accommodate a more secular use. The gallery was enlarged, the stage area was improved and a heating system was added. The spire was also removed. The building was now a more cultural rather than religious center for the Town. In 1897 the Jones family donated the building to the Town of Marlow. It remains today as a gathering center with the Town Library in the lower level and the upper level available for community events.
