Union Hall was constructed in 1897 as a communal hall housing three social welfare organizations: The Good Intent Beneficial Society, the Odd Fellows and the Junior Order of the United American Mechanics. These organizations were benevolent societies formed to provide various insurance, pension, saving and cooperative banking programs prior to government and employer provided services. The building provided both meeting space and performance space for social activities. Downe Township purchased the building in 2019. The Dividing Creek Historical Society continues to hold its meeting in the building.  

The Trust grant will help fund the preparation of a National Register nomination and a Preservation Plan.
