Now known as Starling Hall, the former Grange was listed in the National Register on April 5, 2016 for its significance in association with local social history as a fraternal organization and as a venue for local entertainment and recreation. Starling Hall is a modest building which has been an important social and community center in Fayette, Maine since 1879. Built in that year by members of the recently formed Starling Grange # 156 the building soon proved too small to adequately host events and it was subsequently enlarged in 1900. With a first floor dining room and kitchen and a commodious hall and stage on the second floor, this vernacular wood frame building had both the functional interior plan that supported Grange functions and could host public events from town meetings to school graduations. It also features a basement level stable to house members? horses during meetings, and a two story outhouse. Throughout the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries the Grange, or Patrons? of Husbandry, was an important social organization with an emphasis on agricultural education and progressive community and social activities. Its influence was widespread ? ultimately 588 individual Granges were established in Maine between 1873 and 1985 - but the focus of each Grange was on assisting the local communities. The Grange owned the hall until 1987 when it was sold to the Town of Fayette.
