The Weare Town House is a historic New England meeting house on New Hampshire Route 114 in Weare, New Hampshire. The two story wood frame clapboarded structure was built in 1837 to serve both as a town meeting space and a place for the local Universalist congregation to meet. Its most prominent exterior feature is its two-stage tower, which houses a bell manufactured that same year by George Holbook of East Medway (now Millis), Massachusetts; Holbrook had received his training in the bell foundry of Paul Revere. The interior was originally arranged so that town meetings were held on the first floor and church services on the second. The upstairs was adapted for use as a high school in 1919. The building continues to be used for town facilities.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
