Odd Fellows Hall (Hilliard, Ohio)
Odd Fellows Hall (Hilliard, Ohio)

The Odd Fellows Hall is one of the oldest non-residential buildings in the city of Hilliard, Ohio, United States. Located in the center of the city, it was constructed long before Hilliard's rapid growth of the twentieth-century. It has been named a historic site. Hilliard's Odd Fellows built the present hall in 1883. At the time, Hilliard was just a small farming community, radically different from its present condition as a city within the Columbus metropolitan area. Typical of small commercial structures erected at the time, the hall is a simple Italianate building. It is one of just two nineteenth-century brick commercial buildings in the city that survive in anything close to their original condition.Built of brick on a foundation of limestone, the hall is covered with a metal roof, and it features exterior elements of brick and wood. Two stories tall, it features a cornice with paired brackets at the base of the roof. The design takes advantage of the building's location at a street corner: although the first-story windows and entrances are concentrated on one side, both street sides are divided into four bays with four tall arched windows on the second story. Inside, the first story is divided into a pair of shop spaces, while the Odd Fellows' second-story meeting room has experienced minimal modification. Still remaining are the original hoodmolds over the doors and windows, wainscoting, wooden floor, lights, and ornamental metalwork covering the ceiling.On May 6, 1988, the Odd Fellows Hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture. On the same day, the National Park Service gave the same designation to three other Hilliard buildings, the Hilliard United Methodist Church, the Dr. James Merryman House, and the Winterringer Building and House.

Hilliard United Methodist Church
Hilliard United Methodist Church

The Hilliard United Methodist Church is a historic Methodist church in central Hilliard, Ohio, United States. The oldest religious structure in the community, it has been named a historic site. Hilliard's Methodist Episcopal congregation built the present structure in 1883. At the time, Hilliard was a small village, consisting of just the center of the present community; as the community has grown into a suburb within the Columbus metropolitan area, all other nineteenth-century church buildings have perished, but the Methodist church has endured and become a significant component of residents' sense of community identity.Built of brick, the church rests on a foundation of limestone and is covered with an asphalt roof, and some exterior elements are made of wood and sandstone. The building's basic form is a simple gable-front structure, but a tall bell tower stands to one side of the main section. Due to elements such as a steep hip roof, ornamental brackets, and large louvers protecting the belfry, the square tower is the most prominent component of the overall design. Worshippers enter the building through the base of the tower, using a doorway with a small gabled porch. Behind the tower, the side of the building is extended with an ell that approaches the streetside. Gothic windows are set on the ground floor in the facade, bell tower, and ell, while a circular window crowns the front gable and additional Gothic windows pierce the second story of the tower.In 1988, the Hilliard United Methodist Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture, as the original Gothic Revival elements are still present. It remains in use as a house of worship for the congregation that built it.
