The Canaan Meetinghouse is a historic meeting house on Canaan Street in Canaan, New Hampshire. The Federal style building was constructed for use as a church in the mid-1790s. It was also used for town meetings from an early date, and was purchased by the town in 1829, at which time its tower was raised to a height of 53 feet (16 m). In 1841 the upper gallery was converted to a full second floor, intended for use as a church space by the local Baptist congregation.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972,[1] and included in the Canaan Street Historic District the following year.[3] The building is still owned by the town, and is available for rent.
