Built in 1904,[1] the village hall was a large three-story brick building with a corner tower.

[2] For a community as small as Leipsic (population 2,236 at the 2000 census[3]), it was a very elaborate building: the tower was crowned with battlements, and corbelling was used to support a significant portion of the roofline.

At one time, the building served a wide range of municipal purposes: besides meeting rooms for elected village and township leaders, it contained space for a jail, the fire station, a community center, municipal offices, a library, and the mayor's courtroom.

[4] In 1979, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the "Leipsic City Hall,"[1] even though Ohio law provides that communities with fewer than five thousand residents are villages.

[2] Although the site of the village hall is now occupied by a parking lot,[7] the building remains listed on the National Register.
