Chichester Historical Society
Town Hall  Part VI
By Walter Sanborn


The fight to relocate the Chichester Town Hall was not over as there was still another round to go.


In my last article I stated that at the last town meeting held at the Center School October 29, 1845 the residents voted to acquire a piece of land at the Center and voted to relocate the town hall there and raise $500.00 for the same.  However, after moving timber and boards to this new location I quoted the story of Charles Carpenter being hired to move the town hall timber to the Center and later hired to move it back to the location of the old meeting house. Why was this done?  Well, there is one last round to go in this fight to relocate the town hall.


At the town meeting of March 12, 1846 a warrant was posted calling all the legal voters to meet at the Center School to act on the following matters:


To the Selectmen of Chichester Gentlemen


You are requested by the subscribers, legal voters of said town, to call a meeting of the inhabitants of said town as soon as may be and to insert in the warrant for the same, an article in substance as follows, vis.


“To see if the town will vote to reconsider the vote of said town, at their last meeting,” to remove the town house on to the spot of ground where the old congregational meeting house formerly stood, or some suitable spot not far therefrom.”


Also, to see if the town will vote to reconsider all other acts or votes of said town, at their last meeting, relative to moving, rearing, and completing said town house.


Also to see if the town will vote to locate the town house on the center Square so called or some other convenient spot not far therefrom, or on the pine ground so called.


Also to act on any other matter that may come before them when met relative to the moving, securing and completing the town house.


Chichester March 12, 1846


At this meeting a vote was taken to remove the town hall from its present location and locate it on town land on the pineground so called and passed in a negative vote 74 to 55.  Another vote was called to move the town hall on to the spot of ground where the old Congregational meeting house formerly stood or some convenient spot not far thereon.  This vote passed 73 to 69 in the affirmative.


On March 31 the voters again voted to postpone indefinitely all votes taken and adjourn to September 7th.  This meeting was held and adjourned again.  Evidently this did not hold up the moving back, erecting and finishing the hall on the site it now sits.


Before ending this article I have to address the meetings held in the Center School for town meeting.  The Center School still remains on Main Street across from the New Fire Station as a residential home.


I attended eight grades in this one room school house which is about 28 feet wide and 36 feet long and according to records over 142 voters attended the above mentioned meeting. As only men voted in those days I can’t comprehend that many men smoking the corn cob or clay pipes and chewing tobacco in my little schoolhouse.


At our last town meeting in our new school auditorium we had less voters than that.


My next article I will call Phase II the Town Hall.
