Back on the market due to buyers financing. The definition of the word "Unique" is being the only one of its kind, unlike anything else. Known as the Wilder Memorial Hall, this unique property was built in 1881 by Henry Wilder and served as the meeting place for the Current Topics Club for over 90 years. Dances, Plays, Bicentennial Celebrations, and community events were hosted in the Hall and in 2007 the property was converted into a residential home. Enjoy the grandeur of the main hall that includes 18 ft. cathedral-vaulted ceilings, original beadboard, hardwood floor, sconce lighting, and stained glass. The master bedroom has breathtaking cathedral ceilings, ample light, and beautiful views of the back yard. Original sconce lighting can be found in the kitchen and living room. There are so many possibilities with this property. Own a piece of Lancaster Ma.
