The Community Hall Building was an important building in the Hall community. It was built up along with the Commercial Building and the Hall community homes when the community was building up around ALCOA. These buildings were considered high quality for their time and were advertised to bring more people into the community. The Community Building supported the Hall community by hosting activities and commercial affairs for the churches and the local school. On the Inside of the building there was a theater where bands and others performed, but later on they replaced the theater with a gymnasium for the children of the community to enjoy.
