It is architecturally significant as a relatively intact timber-frame Protestant meetinghouse whose exterior still shows its Greek Revival treatment despite a later addition.","narrative":"Originally built around 1839 as a heavy-timber Methodist meetinghouse in the Town of White Creek, this building was dismantled in 1859 and reassembled in West Hebron for a new Methodist congregation. About 1873 it was moved across the road to make room for a larger church, then extended to the west and used as a meeting and entertainment hall hosting traveling shows and community events. The Hebron Valley Grange, organized in 1907, bought it in 1911 for $450 and used it until the chapter disbanded in 1985. The exterior keeps its Greek Revival character, including a pedimented front gable, corner pilasters and sixteen-over-sixteen windows, while the framing shows a shift from hand-hewn timbers to sawn lumber. The interior retains an open Grange-era plan with a stage, along with some early wainscot. It has been unused since 1985 and suffered water damage, though restoration is underway.","period_of_significance":"c. 1839-c. 1950","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century: Greek Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Listed as vacant and in disuse since the Grange dissolved in December 1985; interiors damaged by deferred maintenance and water penetration, with a restoration effort underway.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:53.63912-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/06000649.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75322839","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebron_Valley_Grange_No._1103","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14706336"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/washington-county/hebron-valley-grange-no-1103-06000649/"}
