COMMUNITY HALL

The Community Hall was originally constructed as a Methodist
Church in 1873 for the sum of $ 477.00. It is located in the middle
of the block on the West Side of Muncy Street between Mylert and
Cherry Streets. In 1921 the Methodist purchased the Baptist Church
and the community of Laporte purchased this building for the sum of
$300.00. The steeple, pews and alter were removed by the a board of
managers who kept it in excellent condition. It was used by various
clubs and organizations, and by the Laporte Fire Company. The
building was later deeded to the County Commissioners and later it
was transferred to the Boro. of Laporte. The current hardwood floor
was salvaged from the Dance Hall on Mt.Wahollock, located at Lake
Mokoma, when it was dismantled in the early 1940's. The Community
Hall is hoast to a few annual social events each year including
Coffee and Snacks after The Memorial Day Parade and Service, Mid
Summer Women Club Smorgasbord Dinner. Late Summer Women's Club
Brunch and the ever popular Halloween Party. It is available for
private use as approved by the Borough Council.
