HISTORY
In 1895 after the silver boom had declined,
William Stirling purchased and moved the vacant
St. John’s Catholic Church
from Silver Reef to Leeds.
He converted the building into the Leeds Social Hall or “Old Stirling Hall.”
Plays, variety shows, dances, and many festive activities took place in the building.
People came from a wide area to enjoy the performances.
The building, which was located on Main Street, no longer stands today.
