The Lovell Meeting House was built as the town hall and as a religious meeting place. The building was originally two stories tall, with gallery space on the second level. The symmetrical facade faces south with the entry door in the center. The building has a large window in the center of the west (street facing) elevation with a king truss (likely not an original element) in front of a carved wooden panel in the gable peak. There is simple wood-block quoining at the corners. Currently, it is a single-story wood-frame structure with a side gabled roof and clapboard siding. The ceiling was lowered in 1819 to combat the building's draftiness. The Congregational Church moved in 1852 to the Lovell Village Church and the town offices eventually relocated to a modern building. The meeting house continues to be used for town meetings and as a polling place.
