Built about 1797 and restyled in 1851, it is a rare surviving example in the state of a meeting house whose functions include both civic and religious uses.

It is also a good example of Greek Revival and Gothic architecture, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

[1] The Springfield Town Hall and Howard Memorial Methodist Church is located in the village center of Springfield, on the north side of Four Corners Road just north of its junction with Main Street (New Hampshire Route 114).

Its main facade, now one of the gable ends, is symmetrical, with corner pilasters rising to an entablature.

The second floor houses the church sanctuary, which includes a demarcated space at the rear for Sunday School use.
