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.
