Preserving public buildings is an important part of preserving and maintaining community. Simonton Corner Community Hall has been a Rockport staple for the past 101 years. To this day, the Simonton Corner Community Hall still hosts dances, rummage sales, public suppers, private events and more.
Over the past five years, a motivated group of members has raised money to insure that the Hall continues to be compliant with safety codes. Our rustic, aged building has undergone several renovations and upgrades including securing the kitchen addition, treating the ceiling for fire resistance, preserving the old Ticket Booth that still graces the entry, insulating the floor, improving the restrooms to include handicap access, and finally installing a new oil furnace after removing the original wood furnace.
The exterior facing the river received a beautiful new board and batten facelift and broken windows were all replaced.
We are grateful for those who donate their time, resources and money to help fulfill the projects at the Simonton Corner Community Hall. The work is not done! Over the next five years the goals are to replace the roof and update the kitchen.
Individuals or groups interested in helping to support the mission of Simonton Corner Community Hall can reach out to Marci Annis at marciannis9@gmail.com. The Hall is available to rent for public and private events year round.
