Priest Valley Hall Association

was incorporated under the laws of the State, in June, 1892, for the purpose of building a young people's hall, to be used for balls and social gatherings, etc. The directors are:

Martin Griffin, John Clayton, John Myers, Richard Folks.

The capital of the association is $500, all paid in. The hail is octagonal or eightsquare in form, and one story high. As a dancing hail, eight sets of dancers can be admitted on the floor at one time. The orchestra stand is in the center. It is suitably seated with portable seats, so that it can be used for other public occasions. The building is surmounted with a flag-staff, and is a credit to the young people of Priest Valley.
