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.
