The Original Melbourne Village Hall is a historic building located on Hall Road in Melbourne Village, Florida, United States. This building was built circa 1941 during World War II to serve as a military barracks at the Naval Air Station Banana River.[1][2] After World War II, the U.S. government declared the building surplus and subsequently sold it to the American Homesteading Foundation located in Melbourne Village.[1]
In May 1948, the building was moved to its current location and used as a community center.[2] Upon becoming incorporated, the Town of Melbourne Village used the building as office space from 1957 until 1963 when a new Town Hall was constructed.[1][2] In December 2003, the Town completed restorations of the building[1] and renamed it Hester Wagner Community House.
It is currently being used as an event venue and is available to rent.
