Description

Hancock Town Hall is a historic town hall on Massachusetts Route 43 in Hancock, Massachusetts. It was constructed in the Greek Revival style c. 1852, using timbers from a previous meeting house. The building served a number of municipal purposes, including library, school, town offices, and town meeting space. In preparation for the town's celebration of the nation's bicentennial, the hall was moved in 1975 to a lot adjacent to the town cemetery and restored. The hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. After being delisted for being moved, it was relisted in 1975.
Hancock Town Hall is located in central Hancock, in a rural setting on the east side of Massachusetts Route 43, just south of the town cemetery. It is a two-story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. The main facade is three bays wide, with a center entrance topped by a corniced entablature. The flanking bays have sash windows, with those on the first floor topped by slightly peaked lintels. The building has plain corner boards, which rise to an entablature that encircles the building. The front gable is fully pedimented, with a triangular panel in the center.
