Fisherman's Hall (Galilean Temple)

Map designation #8

 Located at West and Academy, Fisherman's Hall was built for the local tabernacle of the Galilean Fishermen to support community development and economic empowerment of Blacks in Jefferson County. Over the years, the building has served as a Black community center and a meeting place for Star Lodge Masons, John Brown Elks Lodge, Knights of Pythias, American Legion Post #63, church services, and finally a tavern. Legendary showman and comic Silas Green performed in the hall as well as other show business figures. The cornerstone "Galilean Temple June 6, 1885," is located on the northeast corner of the building.
